You are referring to human values. Almost all our values can not be
programmed. If you try, you are going to fall into a logic trap in the end,
i.e. "to make a program to choose other programs without being made up of
them."
Values are related to the entropy of a system in biological level. I have
mentioned the concept of entropy in comp.ai.philosophy and comp.ai.
