Oikeaarvo

Oikeaarvo is a Finnish compound formed from oikea, meaning right or correct, and arvo, meaning value or attribute. It is not a standard technical term across Finnish mathematics, philosophy, or logic, and its use tends to be informal or exploratory. In many contexts, oikeaarvo would be interpreted as “the value that is correct or appropriate,” or as a translation of phrases such as “the right value” or “the true value” in a given situation.

In philosophy and ethics, oikeaarvo could be used to refer to the normative value of an action or principle—the degree to which it is considered right, good, or justified within a specific ethical framework. In epistemology or measurement, it might denote the value that accurately reflects a target quantity, i.e., the correct result after observation or calculation.

In logic and mathematics, the established term for the truth-property of a proposition is totuusarvo, or truth value. Because of this, oikeaarvo should not be treated as a formal technical term in standard texts. If encountered in educational material, it is usually as a provisional or informal label to help discuss the idea of correctness or appropriateness, rather than as a precise mathematical concept.

Overall, oikeaarvo functions as a potential neologism or translation variant for discussions about correctness of value in various disciplines. Its meaning is context-dependent and should be clarified to avoid confusion with established terms like totuusarvo (truth value) or general arvo (value).
