@Meaningness If you look closely, the values of science (utter honesty, courage, lustful curiosity) differ in kind from the norms (incl methods, publication formats, normal honesty). Norms vs values have different methods of contagion (performance vs admiration/inspiration/...)
@Meaningness and they also inform individual choice differently. This means that through either introspection or studying a social environment a person can separate norms vs values (within their own practice or in a community of practice).
@Meaningness Values can also be named rather precisely. You take the first step in adding lustful to curiosity. But you could go further (see attached). Capturing the values of a community of practice is incredibly useful, especially if you then try to break the norms. 
@Meaningness Finally, those who've learned to see this distinction quickly, they operate very differently in the world. A difference of the sort you mean when you talk about metasystemicity.
@Meaningness Values vs norms also shed light on the meaning (vs performance) of science. (meaning in the sense of life meaning not sentence meaning). Values account for meaning. Without naming values it is hard to account for meaning and meaning tend to get lost in larger systems.
