This essay explores the origin of value through three distinct yet converging perspectives: Albert Camus, Alfred North Whitehead, and the Dynamic Quadranym Model (DQM). For Camus, value is claimed in revolt — coherence held by human will against an indifferent universe. For Whitehead, coherence is felt as fundamental to reality itself, intrinsic to each occasion of becoming and preserved in the advance of creativity, even in tragedy. The DQM reframes these insights procedurally, showing coherence as a default, recursive function that grounds both subjective dignity and objective meaning. Together, these perspectives reveal coherence as the generative ground of value — claimed, felt, and expressed.
