[actually I find most comparisons of greater/lessor are often
  far more fictional than fact with only the gloss of objectivity
  to it] I understand, still,
  the ultimate uniqueness of all 'stuff' kinda makes comparisons
  something for human convenience/interest, but I don't believe
  has much ultimate value.

  Why?

  Universe is at least 3D and spacetime. So is everything in it.
  Even our number line. Our 1D, 2D stuff is really All
  3D+spacetime. We can pretend those things are not true for ease
  of manipulation but ultimately? all 3D+spacetime. Our computers
  aren't nearly powerful enough for that though, so we play around
  with flip/flop and excluded middle which causes problems when
  one runs into the "inbetween" state. tongue emoticon

  Computers have a VERY long way to go. You can also hash it to
  give each a unique value. Your hash can even include spacetime
  elements, IP address, geographical location on the planet, name
  of sender, names of receivers, etc, all bundled up with the
  instance of the usage of the words.

  I kinda prefer that method of comparison. Keeps the uniqueness
  of the exchange.
