- The current definition of the SI second based on the Cs ground state hyperfine transition is expected to be replaced by a new definition based on optical frequency standards in the next decade. Several options are currently under consideration for the new definition, including a definition based on the weighted geometric mean of several transitions. In this paper, we review several properties of this option, and most notably introduce a quantitative method to set the weights of transitions, and a graphical representation of the unit that make the distinction between the definition and the realisation of the unit easier to understand.
