[Arlo] Exactly. We value continuity and consistency across time. This is strong, learned social value. Ron: This is the conversation Plato and Aristotle must have had. I believe what we are calling continuity they were calling form. What is continuity and consistency but form? A collection of continuity and consistency might be seen as "value", and "value" might be seen as form. They were both concerned with identity That which is continuous and consistent and that which is continuous and consistent is measurable.
