For example, ''GIMEL'' has no meaning at all.  It remains as empty as
''LEMIG,'' undefined without credit of invention. ''GIMEL 4.0'' 
(I)_______________________ now defines a problemists' piece-type only.
TABLE OF SOVEREIGN VALUES  ''GIMEL 4.0, 4'' is a sovereign piece-type
P/T      P/Value   Mate#   proper. Acceptable to tag ''invented by...''
ROOK         5.0    1      Each piece-type must needs a computation
FALCON       5.0    1    of value to un-shackle blanket trivialization.

BISHOP       3.0    2    ordered pair, each indexing future and past,
KNIGHT       3.0    3    is an essential nullity.  Such jejune
CAMEL        2.5    3    cataloguing without number is not Emperor
ZEBRA        3.0    3    without clothes, it's Emperor stripped of

GRYPHON      4.0    1    and dis-corporation ('Stranger in a Strange
SQUIRREL     5.5    1    Land').  Each piece value should be read as
BENT HERO    4.5    1    range +/- 0.25 applicable to most likely 
QUINTESSENCE 4.0    3    environments.  Common sense applies in such
VENATOR      3.5    5    as no 6x6 or 75% piece-density to base

table above is preliminary, subject to /_\.   One key other compendium, articles M&Bxxs constantly re-name albeit 'undefineds' by above criterion.
