+The quantity point specifies an absolute quantity with respect to an origin.
+Together with quantities, they model [The Affine Space](../users_guide/framework_basics/the_affine_space.md).
+
+Quantity points should be used in all places where adding two values is meaningless
+(e.g., temperature points, timestamps, altitudes, readouts from the car's odometer, etc.).
+
+The set of operations that can be done on quantity points is limited compared to quantities.
+This introduces an additional type-safety.
