How can I rephrase this to qualify to your standards of what a
definition is?:

[Value]
"A value is unique, eternal, immutable, and is not
fixed in time or space (it has no address)."

Ok, ok. I'll unhide my hidden agenda: nobody responded
my proposal for the glossary until now :-)

Any more silence I'll consider as approval.

Hmmm. Well, this unfortunately isn't just a matter of phrasing.
A set of descriptive qualities is not a definition.

Unfortunately where "value" is concerned, it is often the
most low-level terms that are the hardest to define.
By way of example, I'm paying a modest amount of
attention to set theory lately, and it uses terms like
"set" and the membership relation but explicitly does
not define them.

For what it's worth, lately when I think of "value", I just think
"a member of a set."
