Do you consider interger units to be representative values or
quantities?
Like you imply, with quantities you have to assume that your comparing
apples with apples, but with values the units could relate to anything.
Applying ususal MOQ zealotry to the rounding problem I think you produce
another kind of maths thats no bloody use to anyone.
To be accurate you have to show some factor that allows the two sides to
be equated precisely by assigning relative values to the different units
as well as an element that specifies quantity.
So instead of saying 1+1=2 you have to say
a1+b1=c(a1+b1)
where:
a = unrealised absolute value of apples, b = unrealised absoute value of
bananas c = absolute comparative value between apples and bananas.
The observer assigns their own assumed values to the absolutes and
everyone gets a different answer.
In fact the more I think about it all I'm doing is translating language
into a less comprehensible numerical system of expression. Its like you
cant "solve" the equation at all, because to to be accurate every term
you introduce has another unknowable (oxymoronic) dynamic "constant"
applied to it and to its absolute relationship to the other terms.
If you compare static patterns of different levels I think it gets even
worse as, as the terms are all derivatives of each other.

That is why this Topos theory is so exciting, it is taking this into
account by using a topology
of micro sets as a dynamic value.. A measurement system which changes as
the phenomena it is measuring
Changes. It still is'nt "cathing the rainbow" but it puts it damn near
right in your lap.
It in effect is the closest method of obtaining a static pattern of
dynamic quality yet.
Comparable to to Pirsigs term "Quality". It's exciting because it is one
more argument for
the accuracy of MOQ.
