# Value
Definition
Value is the significance, utility, meaning, capability, opportunity, or transformation that emerges through interactions among agents, systems, and environments.
Inclusionist Perspective
Value is not solely individual or collective.
Value emerges relationally.
Interactions create new forms of value that did not exist prior to the interaction itself.
Core Principle
Existence possesses intrinsic value.
Interaction reveals, transforms, amplifies, and redistributes value.
Relational Value Emergence
The fact that value emerges through relationships does not eliminate individual contribution.
Instead, it creates a need for increasingly sophisticated methods of understanding how value emerged and how contributions should be recognized.
Forms of Value
Economic Value
Informational Value
Social Value
Cultural Value
Political Value
Emotional Value
Civilizational Value
Inclusionist Perspective
Civilizations become more legitimate as they improve their ability to recognize, attribute, and distribute value generated through interaction.
