measuring value of broken tools (memorandum)

NOTICE
  • DO NOT TRUST THE FOLLOWING
MOTIVATION
  • a la Heidegger, we could say tools notice us when they do not work properly
  • think direct sum decomposition of tool: tool = broken tool + its functionality
  • other than its functionality, value of broken tool might be zero
  • repairer might price broken tool as >0
(added) KNOWLEDGE AND NON-COMMUTATIVITY
  • determining (valuation) of broken tool is dependent on repairer's knowledge and available repair process (both are continuously changing)
  • some repair depends on too specific supply of spare parts recycled from another broken tool
