	philosophy of value as scaled identification with belonging in intersectional continua gary e. davis	August 31, 2025

I identify with what I do. So, there are actions I don’t do (e.g., litter, violate good* values/Values, deny real validities, counter person-al integrity) because of what I selfidentically value: who I am. A given normativity for me of “What we do and don’t do” arises from the “We” of better lives, relative to value conceptuality that is richly scaled, i.e., comfortable with relevant orientation by intersecing continua. “Values can bind modes of belonging in the person-al continuum of being,” I noted a year ago. I choose to belong to the values of intersecting continua because entailed flexibility gives high appeal to congruent leading minds (inasmuch as I can find them and keep them near to mind). That’s how being philosophical appeals. It results from my long time of individuational enowning of values for my self-enhancive interest in a fruitfully cohering life at the best conceivable scale. A selfidentical belonging in given scales gives validity (efficacious cohering) to its manifold character through selfidentical valuing (—> Valuing) of manifoldness, whereby one owns selfidentical fidelity to manifold values relative to their relevant domain and implicate range of applicability. That’s a complex conception, not a directly action-oriental protocol, but so it goes for philosophy of value: Conceptual complexity, at its best, works for appropriative occasions. Conceptuality is proximally heuristic for given appeal of “all things considered” (horizonal or comphrehensiveness of) holism which can be generative.
