The spectrum of autonomy.
Autonomy – agency unimposed upon by another (left alone, the liberty of living on an island with no enemies etc. It’s not liberty, nor sovereignty, but rather autonomy)
Sovereignty – Autonomy insured by force (impositions by another rendered unlikely or impossible)
Liberty – the benefit of Sovereignty (autonomy) extended to those not able to secure autonomy for themselves (autonomy by permission and insurance from a sovereign).
Freedom – accepted limits upon ones liberty (autonomy by permission) in exchange for insurance of autonomy (we agree to obey laws, a limitation on autonomy, to have autonomy insured by a sovereign) – Or “Free within the Domain” Domain or dominion – you are free as long as you remain within the domain of agreed behaviour and within the territory of the sovereign.
Autonomy [proper] -> Autonomy secured [sovereignty]-> Autonomy extended [liberty]->Autonomy Limited [freedom]

@Oliver Westcott Defines Commodity Money Properly
A commodity money would be a commodity that is scarce (persistently), in demand (persistently), in existence (persistently), and whose purchasing power remains sufficiently constant for service as an intertemporal unit of account (persistently) and of unitary measure (persistently). Existence = Persistence. -

—“Is Truth then Relative or Absolute?”—Ken Cavallon It’s a false dichotomy. We use the term TRUE for “agreement on correspondence”, |TRUTH CLAIM| Undecidable > Possible > Relative > Consensual > Contingent > Probable > Decidable > Necessary > Analytic > Tautological. As far as I know, all statements remain contingent, if only for the imprecision of definitions alone. I’ll deflate it further into TESIMONY, DEMAND, and WARRANTY. TESTIMONY: demand for agreement(x), degree of necessity(y) and degree of warranty(z). DEMAND: I can hold an agreement on correspondence with myself, with someone else, with others, with everyone, with anyone. WARRANTY: I can warranty my testimony corresponds to the possible, probable, contingent, decidable, necessary, analytic, and tautological. And agreement can be possible, personally actionable, collectively actionable, collectively decidable, and collectively irrefutable, and collectively tautological. We use ‘Truth’ for all those purposes: “true enough for the circumstance.” The question is whether one uses the truth that is sufficient for the circumstances. -

DEFINITIONS ARE RECIPES
by Bill Joslin
The only definitions (identity) which rest in the commons are operational descriptions (recipes).
Operational descriptions stand on their own as a set of arguments – thus definitions simply assign a name to a set of operational arguments.
We then use names, for sake of brevity, to build new, higher order arguments.
The relation of lower order and higher order definitions are two-fold – either a lower order argument has a causal relation to a higher order one (a primary or fundamental ) or the higher order argument provides superordinate to the lower order argument.
By categorizing according to arguments versus object-properties we may open up new meta-relations which are not available with an object-property mentality.
