Experience is a Quality-event and always has both static and dynamic
attributes. Watching the sunrise AGAIN is always a partly new
experience. Otherwise it would have no value and no-one would do it.
Same goes for rereading a book, watching a movie again or going back to
a restaurant and re-ordering a well-loved dish.

Experience without a dynamic component lacks value - it doesn't exist.
