How about this:

        [Constant] See [Variable].

	[Value]
	"A value is unique, eternal, immutable, and is not
	 fixed in time or space (it has no address)."
	- Darren Duncan, Language::MuldisD::Basics version 0.14.1.
http://search.cpan.org/~duncand/Language-MuldisD-0.21.0/lib/Language/MuldisD/Basics.pod
	[Variable]
	"A variable is fixed in time and space ...¹; it holds an
	 appearance of a value; it is neither unique nor eternal
	 nor immutable in the general case.
	 A constant is a variable which is defined to not mutate
	 after initially being set."
	- Darren Duncan, for source see [Value].
	¹ ... says: "(it does have an address)", which is
	specific to DD's purpose.
