99% of values come from copied entities (genes, memes, etc). Basically, any non-trivial optimisation process (i.e. more advanced than exhaustive/​random search) involves the copying-with-variation of previously-successful solutions. So: a useful way of classifing many values, is to consider what was copied in order to produce them.
It can tell you whether your values came from you, from another individual (often manipulation), from tradition, or from some other source. Such information is often interesting.

Why is this useful to us? I am confused :( it seems that only following all the selection could make this useful?
