I think that it isn't appropriate to say DQ "contains" anything. DQ
isn't a container. It is a driving force. Things are made possible by a
combination of DQ and static patterns which facilitate realization.
It strikes me that FUTURE is the container of all possibilities, while
PAST is the container of realised possibilities. PRESENT is dynamic
realisation. This is the sharp cutting edge of our common experience.
It's only when we get down to the quantum scale that the sharp edge
starts to look dull. That means that the present is more than
infinitesimal, but diffuses along the time axis.

Great stuff Diana. Passion and caring are the keys words. They make the
difference between good and bad motorcycle maintenance and between good
and bad discussion groups. I'm so glad that you care.
