My thoughts are this:
I think we confuse ourselves using the qord Quality
somewhat. There is the static (the patterns that have
built up over time) and the dynamic (that which is
happening in the realworld right this minute).
So the Dynamic as you say about disruption is neither
good not bad it's just stuff. I think the betterness
and 'Quality' comes in because of our ability to look
at the Dynamic and discern good from bad. And this
ability to pick good from bad isn't purely a human
thing. It's part of evolution and everything right
down to chemistry. An electron zooms around near the
nucleaus. We can't say exactly where it is and it
doesn't move in a smooth pattern like a planet round
the sun. Instead we can say that it is generally
(99.9% of the time) within a zone. That is, the
electron can go pretty much wherever (very dynamic)
but it likes to be in the quality situation of it's
zone. Then we have a chemical reaction and the
electron moves into a new higher quality zone joined
between 2 atoms. If it never strayed from it's
original zone in a dynamic manner it would probably
never be able to find this new higher quality zone
etc. Anyway thats maybe a bit of topic.....
So we have the dynamic which is neither good or bad
but then we have a mechanism for determining the
quality of parts of that dynamic, discarding the low
quality and keeping the good quality.
Static comes into play because this is our experience.
Based on the static patterns I think we become better
at descerning quality and can work better with the
dynamic. Eg, if you have a big pool of chemicals you
are very unlikely to get a human walking out of it (ie
a large complicated static pattern coming from a very
dynamic source). But if you take a large number of
static patterns that have built up over time (plants
and animals) then those patterns build on each other
to become higher quality and eventually through
evolution you get humans, cats etc...
So we need to always build our static patterns, the
key is to always keep looking at the dynamic around us
and taking what is of quality and incorporating that
into our static patterns and discarding the static
patterns that are no longer of use as they will only
hold us back.
My 2c anyway
