Hi Ham --

Ham:
You win the prize!  Value is dependent on the 'being-aware' dichotomy.

Ron:
This is what I meant by "we are experience." this does not have to
be viewed as a dichotomy. Dependency implies that dichotomy is an
illusion.
if value is dependant then dichotomy is a meaningless term.

 Ham:
Which means that Value is conditional and contingent upon the 
existential relation of self to other.  

Ron:
self and other are dependant, dependency implies that they do not
and can not exist separately.

Ron:
Uses of dichotomy
The above applies directly when the term is used in mathematics,
philosophy or linguistics. For example, if there is a concept A, and it
is split into parts B and not-B, then the parts form a dichotomy: they
are mutually exclusive, since no part of B is contained in not-B and
vice-versa, and they are jointly exhaustive, since they cover all of A,
and together again give A. 
A false dichotomy is a logical fallacy consisting of a supposed
dichotomy which fails one or both of the conditions: it is not jointly
exhaustive or not mutually exclusive. In its most common form, two
entities are presented as if they are exhaustive, when in fact other
alternatives are possible. In some cases, they may be presented as if
they are mutually exclusive although there is a broad middle ground.

The self other dichotomy is a false dichotomy and a logical fallacy they
are 
not mutually exclusive.
