Productivity is a form of activity, not a quantity.

Systems of productivity that are organized by wage remuneration rely on processes of labor valorization, but no such process reflects any inherent or essential feature of the labor process undertaken by any individual worker.

Production in enterprise is by social processes.

Processes of valorization have more cogency at the level of the entire enterprise, because products within the enterprise are created through the complex accumulation of many individual contributions, but are exchanged between easily separable entities, often through commodity markets.

Ultimately, there is no law of nature affirming the distinctively quantified value of each worker’s labor. Neither is there any law of nature proscribing each worker from receiving the same rate of rumuneration for each unit of time contributed to the social processes of labor. A social choice for such practices would be possible to implement.
