OK. Do you have some good link which clearly explain CGT temperature ? Nowhere i find something explaining why it is a good name, in the sense it is alike what all physicists call temperature (= more or less global average of underlying agitation*density).

If it was "value", I never would have. I read some papers about thermography in go, and in this papers it was much more clear if i replace "temperature" with "value". Some "clever" temperature stuff sounds trivial if you replace it by the word value. Like saying "winning strategy = play the highest temperature point". Also except in small yose, it is hard to have a thermometer, about as hard as a valuemeter ;-) I agree that using "value" could also be misleading, but it seems much better name than temperature. maybe cgtemperate, or cvalue ?
