Percent Sign

Number Theory

The percent sign, %, sometimes called the per cent sign in British English, is the symbol used to indicate a percentage, meaning a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. Related signs include the permille, or per thousand, sign and the permyriad, or per ten thousand, sign, and higher proportions are expressed using parts per notation.

Is Kind Of Object

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
