How to define
$$ \left. \frac{d}{d\, x} \right|_{x=0} \; |x| $$
$$ \left. \frac{d}{d\, x} \right|_{x=0} \; |x| $$
Economist: Silly question: ##0##.
Mathematician: Can't be done at all.
Engineer: Obviously ##1##. The real world is positive.
Physicist: Looks like an entanglement of ##|-1\rangle## and ##|+1\rangle##
Crackpot: ##-\frac{1}{12}##
