Worth
The inherent quality that makes something meaningful beyond its market price. 가치 is the philosopher's measure -- the worth of an idea, a relationship, a moment of clarity. It cannot be computed, only recognized.
Price
The number assigned by consensus, by markets, by algorithms. 가격 is the world's attempt to quantify the unquantifiable. It is precise, ruthless, and always incomplete. What something costs is never what it is worth.
Cost
The sacrifice demanded in exchange. 비용 encompasses more than money -- it includes time, attention, opportunity, and the invisible expenditures that never appear on any ledger. Every value has its cost; every cost implies a value.
The worth that exists independent of observer or market. A sunset has intrinsic value. A theorem has intrinsic value. The question is whether AI can perceive it.
What one thing trades for another. The oldest calculus of civilization, now computed in microseconds across global networks that never sleep.
The premium placed by memory and emotion. Irreducible to algorithm. The handwritten letter worth more than its paper. The heirloom beyond auction.
The human effort crystallized in every object. Marx measured it in hours. The market disagrees. AI automates it. Who decides what labor is worth?
The premium of the rare. Diamonds, time, attention -- their value inflated by their limits. In a digital world, what remains scarce?
The worth of beauty, form, and design. The gold inlay on this very page. The elegance of a well-set typeface. Value that justifies itself.
값은 측정되는 것이 아니라 발견되는 것이다
Value is not measured -- it is discovered.
