Hi Matt and all,
In trying to arrive at the primitive concept, I suggest that "existence" has
more explicative possibilities for evolution than "value". Value has the
baggage of identity, hence is subject to intellectual logic. In emotional
parlance value is a defined non starter. Existence on the other hand is
open to everything knowable, even evolution. DQ comes in the flavors of
evolution in existence.
A quibble about words.
