Your 's' sounds like a residual.
Any variable in an additive relationship whose sum is known (money national income) can be calculated as a residual. In fact, the monetary value of s is more directly known (as the after-tax sum of property incomes plus executive salaries) than either v or c, because calculation of those variables depends crucially on the distribution of wage income between productive (commodity-producing) and unproductive (overhead) labor and of government expenditures between social variable-capital wages (expenditures that absent government would be required, as variable capital, for the reproduction of productive labor power) and system maintenance (including the social wage of unproductive laborers whether in the private-capitalist or government sectors).
