Physical Theory of Value: Multi-Core Research Program

Description

This paper presents the structural framework of the Physical Theory of Value (PTV) as a multi-core research program. The work is divided into two main parts:

  • Supporting Foundations (auxiliary papers that provide algorithms, prove efficiency, and establish philosophical basis)
  • Core Ideas (specific methods for measuring value of particular types).

    Each Core Idea provides a distinct formula for value computation, grounded in physics, information theory, and semiotics, including Technological Value (Δnegentropy), Teleological Value (goal approximation), Relativistic Value (readiness), Time-Probability Value, Percentage-Goal Value, and Negentropic Value. The framework is designed for modular development, open-source collaboration, and eventual integration into economic and technological systems. This document establishes the foundational framework for subsequent detailed publications and experimental implementations within the Zenodo phmv community.
