Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, explore, and discuss “Atmospheric Value” using the basic tenets of Formal Axiology. As a proposed addition to Axiology, the rationale and importance for adding this Dimension are presented, and comment is invited. A system of notation, along with basic Atmospheric Equations, is put forth. Key insights about what we value in the Atmospheric Realm and how we make those valuations are developed and discussed. All forms of atmospheres, ranging in size from 2 microns up to the size of the Universe, are considered within the scope of this discussion. Implications of new advances in Quantum Entanglement, a fundamental aspect of our atmosphere, are discussed as well.
