i think we can have physics like discussion for money . where joule ~ money and joule / sec ~ value , i am making a distinction between money and value where money is more discrete(quantized) and value is continuous . The second secret ingredient is compute. OP(like FLOP) ~ money and OPS ~ value . putting it together we get , M = OP * E * K where OP -> total no of operations E -> energy spent K -> some constant . Dimensionally money has same SI unit as Joule , Total operation is a dimensionless variable . V = M / T {having same SI unit as Watt} value is money per unit time and Goverments / services / business should be seen as value generators the same way we describe the power of an engine as horsepower or watts .

This model is completely different than market analysis of prices / value . Not to mention that majority of value traded is done outside of open markets .

This model makes the assumption that all players in the value chain (producers and consumers) are agents with repeatable instructions ie put,Get,push,add,mov,etc.

Since there is No SI unit for instructions I propose the Unit for measuring instructions be MOV operator , This is because of my belief taking inspiration from the X86 MOV operator which was proven to be turing complete with the movfuscator(https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator). What this means IMO all computable operations can be broken down to move operations.

Lastly this system views markets as interaction between agents . And makes the assumption that agents that do not sustainably price their goods / services will fail to operate in the longrun. And views variance / volatility in prices as a outcome of chaotic interaction between agents rather True indicator of value.



> joule / sec ~ value

That makes no sense. Value and money should have the same unit. Let's say it's "$". There is already a term for what you are describing in $/second: "income" (if you include all assets of a company) or "cash flow" (if you only include cash).


i see that cash and cash flow as 2 different things , so made the case of cash or $ ~ joule and value or cashflow ~ joule / sec.
