I am looking for physics where C is treated as unity or as the
quantity of one.

C is never unity. One can of course choose various units
such as light-seconds per second, where the numeric portion
of c is 1, but that's not unity, it's 1 light-second per
second in this case, as c is a speed.
You say "c is a speed." NOT AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT IT ISN'T as Einstein saw
in his "mind's eye" voyage to it. Then it is not 300,000 kps (r/o)! Then it
is not infinity either. And c is certainly not zeroed at the speed of light.
AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT it is Planck unit, c = 1. It is unity, as is also.....
This '1' is base, as is cosmological constant '0'....and as is 'parity'!
GLB
Um...this didn't make that much sense. As far as this
discussion is concerned c is a speed, but it needn't be
lightspeed...in fact, many consider lightspeed in vacuo
nonconstant and wavelength or frequency dependent.
(The actual hard evidence for such non-constancy,
admittedly, is next to nil.)
But a speed is never unity anyway; it has units. In the
case of SI one has meters/second, though one can use
units such as feet/minute, miles per hour, or leagues per
fortnight. (The numeric value of course will change.)
