"What do the patterns of higher quality have that those of destruction,
> decay and disorder don't?"
Roger,
I had trouble responding to the question because I got stuck on the wording.
The question is making quality and nonquality two separate categories that we
are supposed to compare. Quality is a matter of degree not an either-or;that
is it is not you have it or you don't it is how much quality does something
have. So just to appease me I am going to respond to this question instead
"what do higher quality patterns have more of than lower quality patterns"
To answer this I am going to use an analogy. Let's say I wrote a poem and had
everyone interpret that poem. In choosing the highest quality interpretation I
would choose the one that was closest to my intention or meaning of the poem.
A postmodernist would argue that every interpretation has both an subjective
and objective component to it so they are all equal(everybody gets an A ;) BUT
MOQ says some interpretations have more quality. One interpretation has more
quality than other because its meaning is closer to actual meaning of the
poem. So a higher quality pattern is one that is closer match to what both
patterns are trying to pattern. Make sense?
I know this is a vague answer but it is a vague question. If you want a
specific answer I think we have to narrow the question to a specific topic. If
quality is a relative term I can't encompass an answer to encompass all
quality. On the other hand if quality isn't relative I still need to know
what we are "patterning" to know which patterns have quality or not.
Have a good holiday everyone!!
