NR 4.1.2 "Page formatting" defines stretchability as "the

We space systems by simulating ideal springs (more or less). Stretchability is the inverse of the spring constant in Hooke's law. A reasonable default is stretchability = space, because it keeps the proportions constant (assuming there are no collisions).
What is one stretchability unit?
How will I know which value to use? Is there a max value?
I see the default stretchability for bottom-system-spacing
is 5. Unfortunately, this doesn't tell me anything about
what I should expect to happen. 5 of what?
Thanks
