Dear Scott,

You made 15/8 21:56 +0000 the interesting suggestion that
'it might be better to think of DQ operating not as the creator of patterns
but as the Pure Observer and Evaluator, which gives weight to certain
variations, making them more likely. ... [and] that our ability to observe
and evaluate is a localization of DQ.'

I must think more about it, but it fits my ideas about God (which I tend to
associate with DQ) as something which connects everyone and everything and
which can also guide behavior/actions.

I am still a bit confused about the relation between DQ and Quality when you
are writing about
- 'Quality evolving' through different stages/levels (inorganic, biological
etc.),
- DQ observing, evaluating and weighing variations (from Quality patterns)
AND finaly
- 'evolving entities "just [being]" Quality evolving, always in the form of
the polarity DQ/sq (neither of which has any reality without the other)'.

Is DQ in your scheme still a subdivision of Quality as in the MoQ? Is the DQ
that observes/evaluates/weighs variations from static patterns of values the
same DQ that is an aspect of evolving entities and that no reality without
sq?

With friendly greetings,

Wim
