Primes¶
- Commensurability
- A quantity can be bounded (capped at 100%) while remaining incommensurable with other quantities; conversely, two unbounded quantities can be made commensurable through a common metric, a distinction Raz (1986) develops in his analysis of incommensurable values that retain magnitude without admitting cross-dimensional ranking.
This sourceIts chapters on incommensurability ('Incommensurability and Rough Equality', 'Denying Comparability', 'The Incomparability of Comprehensive Goals', 'Constitutive Incommensurabilities') develop the view that some values resist cross-dimensional ranking yet retain magnitude; supports the 'not-boundedness' contrast about incommensurable values. (Citation-fix: the prior annotation mistakenly described Raz's 'service conception of authority,' which is a different part of the book and irrelevant to this claim.)

- Value Commensuration
- Value commensuration asks "Who decided on the metric, and at what cost?" and "What moral framework does this metric encode?"
This sourceDevelops the service conception of authority: legitimate directives function as exclusionary reasons that pre-empt the subject's own balance of reasons, distinguishing binding authoritative power from non-binding influence and persuasion.

Mechanisms¶
- Comparison Readout Annotation
- The guarding discipline is symmetry (the same downgrade and caveat rules applied to every comparand) and reserving the strongest label, non-comparability, for cases that genuinely resist a common frame rather than using it to duck a hard call — the real distinction being value incommensurability
This sourceDefines value incommensurability as the absence of a common ordering in which alternatives are better, worse, or equal.
