I noticed too.  My try:

The value of an object is the information that the object represents (or that is stored with the object) that the interpreter uses to compute the value of a new object when you use the object in an expression. For number objects, the number value. For collection objects, the objects collected. For functions, the signature and function performed when called.

How is that?
