ABSTRACT
Production is an action or a movement. Therefore, it would seem that production is a velocity, the space covered during one unit of time. Production is original, because it is a movement that creates a space “in front of itself”, whereas conventional movements are motions in a predefined space. Whatever the measure of the production under scrutiny, the product is zero if that production is applied during a zero length of time. The nullity of the product results from the time-factor, which is nil, and not from production itself, “instantly” positive. The inertia of production through time is absolutely nil; this is precisely what distinguishes it radically from the velocities of classical mechanics. Production is the operation and the product is the result; measured in the same unit and in the same scale, both magnitudes are necessarily equal to each other, one and the same measure being applied indifferently to both.
