    If we look at this as an analog to physics and “number go up” is speed then “rate of number go up go up” is literally a jerk measure.

      Almost correct - that would be acceleration. Jerk is the third derivative of position with regard to time, so if the number is speed, the jerk is the rate of the rate of the number go up go up go up
