"stamping with value-predicates" sounds like the present-at-hand 
analysis of a thing.  "Significance" has, well, significance, in the 
description of everydayness in the first division of B&T; it's big.


I'd suggest you read what B&T has to say about Significance.  Look in 
the index for "significance" and find out what German word is being 
translated and track it down.  

For value-predicates, I'd suggest gaining an understanding of the 
relationship & differences between ready-to-hand (Zuhanden) and 
present-at-hand (Vorhanden) by tracing these through B&T as well.

That's my two cents,
Henry
