Oof. I don't think that is going to be immediately intelligible even to someone who's much happier with maths than I am.
Maybe you could explain:- In what way is exchange value a *quadernary* social relation; what are the 4 things it relates to?
- What do the axes of the higher dimensional technology space consist of?- What determines the particular projection of the technology space on the value space? (is there no social mediation here?)
- what does it mean to say that 'value is a potential or scalar field'? (To my non-mathematical ears that sounds like an odd mixture of physics and mathematical usages of 'field').
