Humans are individuals; but their weight [w], divided by the acceleration [g]
at which they will free fall [in vacuum] at any particular time and place is
a Constant: This constant [ratio w/g] is a measure of the quantity of matter
that they contain; their mass and/or inertia.

  Gravitational mass [w/g] = Inertial mass [f/a]
