The document discusses the importance of mapping and modeling in understanding self and reality, describing how this process helps in both cognition and volition within an economic framework. It details the attributes of commodities including value, use value, exchange value, and price, while contrasting Marx's definitions against common interpretations. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for faster parameterization in modeling to effectively adapt to real-world processes through emulation.

1. Mapping, Modeling, Measuring, Emulating:
“Because we need to map and to model ourselves in
order to understand and then be able to act in order,
darling” …. he said softly to her
----
An epic story of Cognition and Volition in an Economy

2. The need to have found (wajada) ourselves both
in the map (talk the walk) AND
in the model (walk the talk)
 WHY? … “Because we need to map and to model ourselves
in order to understand and then be able to act in order”
 But WHY?.. “Because we need to find ( = becoming, wajada)
ourselves both in The Map and in The Model while we’re in
the world”
 And the map is constructed while we’re walking; And the
model, is realized while we’re talking
 Easy?.. Hmmm.. It’s not difficult but not so simple; Wait
until you really really experience it

3. Four attributes of commodity
a commodity has 4 attributes:
 a value (note the link is to a non-Marxian
definition of value)
 a use value (or utility)
 an exchange value
 a price (it could be an actual selling price or
an imputed ideal price)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_value

4.  Marx's view of commodities in Capital is illustrated by
the following quote:
 “We have seen that when commodities are in the
relation of exchange, their exchange-value
manifests itself as something totally independent of
their use-value. But if we abstract from their use-
value, there remains their value, as has just been
defined. The common factor in the exchange
relation, or in the exchange-value of the
commodity, is therefore its value.”
(Vintage/Penguin edition, p. 128, chapter 1, §1, para.
12)[1] exchange relation often represented as “exchange rate”,
different than “exchange value” seperti yang ada pada event transaksi

5. Use value, what is it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Use_value&oldid=782349551
 Pengertian “use value” dalam ekonomi Marx tidak sama dengan
“utility” (“utility function”) walau sangat sering dipersamakan
 Bagi kita yang berbahasa Indonesia: Use value itu identik dengan
apa yang sering kita katakan sebagai “guna”
 “guna” maknanya “kualitas” (quality) - dari bahasa Sansekerta
“gunah”; Re-read—baca kembali Marx: “… when commodities are
in the relation of exchange, their exchange-value manifests itself as
something totally independent of their use-value. But if we abstract
from their use-value, there remains their value, as has just been
defined …. ”
 Use value–quality, guna, hanya dirasakan ketika (when) dan jika (if)
mengalaminya “as has just been defined”. Ketika tidak sedang
mengalami, kita hanya mengingat-ingat (recollecting) “a quality”

6. Exchange value, what is it?

10. Mapping: homomorphic mapping

11. Copy and paste dari tetangga: re information that is too
slow for the pace and scale of the real world
To have an anticipatory system we need to parameterize
the model faster than real process: that’s “emulating”
