Hello Platt,
Yes, that's wonderful. I had been playing around with substituting other
synonyms also.
'Art is the electric soil in which DQ lives, thinks and invents.'
I love music, and i think the Beethoven quote may have popped into my 'mind'
when it did because i feel, as you point to yourself in your post, that
relationships between those highlighted entities/categories/particulars,
whether quarks today or DNA tomorrow, individual people next week, is where
DQ strikes?
As for beauty as fifth level? Interesting. Although, i tend to think along
the lines of beauty being a harmonious balance between static patterns - a
kind of teetering on the edge of the Dynamic? I am sure quarks find being
with other quarks in a harmonious relationship, (a Proton for example)
beautiful? I am sure Protons find other sub atomic particles in a harmonious
relationship to be beautiful - up and up in an evolving structure of
potential for more DQ? There's something musical about that don't you find?
Peter.
