<h1>Value and Exchange</h1>
<p>An exchange of value consists of a contract to exchange ("trade"), two
transfers of value (value for value), coordination problems
("settlement"), and dispute resolution services ("failure").</p>
<p> Hence, reliability of exchange is dominated by reliability of transfers.
And, transfers of value are dominated by reliability of basic issues of
value, including storage.</p>
<p> What might be seen as sort of semantic short-cut is that a value system
may be considered reliable if and only if it can participate in an
exchange. </p>
