There are two kinds of constants:

1. kept-constant
2. equality of ratios

Kept-constant

Kept-constant is a unit which is kept constant in order to measure other similar quantities. A unit is a unit and can always be written as unity. A unit is a single entity.

Equality of ratios

An equality of ratios is a constant whose terms vary according to a rule while the proportionality remains constant.¹ A constant is a proportionality.

Law I: There is no constant without proportionality.

Discussion 

So, a unit is a single entity which cannot be simplified further and a constant is a set of quantities held together by a rule.

A constant has more than one term. As one of the terms is varied the others change according to the rule and the proportionality stays the same.

So, miles per gallon is a constant of my car. While, according to physicists, G is a constant of nature. In reality G of nature corresponds to the unit gallon of the constant of the car. In other words G is a unit, not a constant.

Law II: A quantity cannot be a unit and a constant of nature at the same time.

G is a unit therefore G is not a constant of nature.

But hold on. In physics there can exist no definition which does not have its anti-definition. So therefore, by the laws of physics, G is a unit when it is convenient for physicists to call it a unit and G is a constant of nature when it is convenient for physicists to call it a constant of nature. This is valid in physics. Therefore G is a perfect physic.²

1. Physicists call a proportionality symmetry. [↩]
2. A physic is an artifact of physics code which does not correspond to any known quantity. Therefore, physics is a collection of physics. [↩]
