Episode 10: Measurement - When Value Becomes Number

Core Spine

• A waveform is a system of values changing over time.
• What we value determines what we amplify.
• What we amplify becomes our experience.

Concept

Waves can be sampled and stored. Sampling turns a continuous signal into discrete data. Quantization turns experience into numbers. Measurement is the bridge between reality and systems.

Value Layer

Value is measured worth. Metrics define success. Measurement shapes behavior, because what gets measured gets managed.

Art and Sensory Layer

Wave to dots to grid. Color fades to grayscale. The signal becomes data. Clarity increases, nuance decreases.

Why This Matters

If you measure the wrong thing, you reward the wrong behavior. Measurement is the most subtle form of governance.
