universal calculation of piece values

See pages 42-49.
This is my incomplete effort to, amongst others matters, achieve a
quantitative, theoretical explanation for the counter-intuitively high
value of the archbishop in CRC that was first brought to my attention by
Muller's experiments. However, the meaningful context of the select pages
referenced will not be fully comprehensible without reading the entire
65-page paper.
Anyone is free to create variations of my work with refinements of a
different nature and/or extend my work toward something truly
'universal'. In any case, I am convinced that its holistic framework of
theory, terminology, factors and calculation has lasting value.
I own two fast servers now yet I devote both of their CPU times exclusively
to the possibly-futile SETI project. Sorry, no playtesting or piece value
experiments anymore.
