No I didn't miss it, I'm just saying it's in most cases irrelevant or can be worked around.

No one said equation, and no one even said we need to assign dollar values on everything. We don't have a unified theory or physics, but we still get pretty good mileage out of physics regardless. We don't need an equation, we need a data model, and that's for this to be usable, applicable, and that wasn't even a requirement in all of this, just that it's in theory possible.
