"'Value Added'"

"'Value added' has come to be applied to every area of attention, not simply economics.  What’s the 'difference that makes a difference' (Bateson)? – the element that carries significance, meaning, or some version of effectual change so that it’s not only 'more of the same.'

Except that 'more' can also be 'better'  (And 'less' can be 'better'.)  That is, quantities have qualities.  Quantifications have qualitative aspects.  They aren’t just numbers or mere 'stuff' – there’s also the experience of those numbers or that stuff.
 
100 is a number.  What’s your experience of it?
 
How about 100 trillion?
 
How about 0.0000001?
 
QUAN & QUAL is a main axis to lay across or in front of the phenomenon or phenomena of memetica."
