The B-values


First, here are the B-values (bookmark these):

* WHOLENESS (unity; integration; tendency to one-ness; interconnectedness; simplicity; organization; structure; dichotomy-transcendence; order);

* PERFECTION (necessity; just-right-ness; just-so-ness; inevitability; suitability; justice; completeness; "oughtness");

* COMPLETION (ending; finality; justice; "it's finished"; fulfillment; finis and telos; destiny; fate);

* JUSTICE (fairness; orderliness; lawfulness; "oughtness");

* ALIVENESS (process; non-deadness; spontaneity; self-regulation; full-functioning);

* RICHNESS (differentiation, complexity; intricacy);

* SIMPLICITY (honesty; nakedness; essentiality; abstract, essential, skeletal structure);

* BEAUTY (rightness; form; aliveness; simplicity; richness; wholeness; perfection; completion; uniqueness; honesty);

* GOODNESS (rightness; desireability; oughtness; justice; benevolence; honesty);

* UNIQUENESS (idiosyncrasy; individuality; non-comparability; novelty);

* EFFORTLESSNESS (ease; lack of strain, striving or difficulty; grace; perfect, beautiful functioning);

* PLAYFULNESS (fun; joy; amusement; gaiety; humor; exuberance; effortlessness);

* TRUTH(honesty; reality; nakedness; simplicity; richness; oughtness; beauty; pure, clean and unadulterated; completeness; essentiality).

* SELF-SUFFICIENCY (autonomy; independence; not-needing-other-than-itself-in-order-to-be-itself; self-determining; environment-transcendence; separateness; living by its own laws).

--------------------------

Each one of the B-values forms the nidus of a holarchy and each B-value is connected to each other B-value such that any hierarchy among the B-values is idiosyncratic to the hierarchy leading to each B-value. That is to say, there can be a distinct hierarchy of the B-values for an individual or an ontology, but no B-value is more or less important than any other B-value in and of itself. The B-values are connected into a "string" which denotes the realm of value or general value.

Stay tuned...
