Hey Roger, very nice system. Any form of organizing shows Dynamic thinking.
Yours though is both Dynamic and Quality.

<< Sorry Steven, no computer program. But on the issue of organizing
thoughts,
I have composed a grid to help me make sense of the morality discussion. It
is simply a chart made of 16 boxes. On the vertical axis, I have labeled
each
row with the four static levels (intellect at top!). On the horizontal
collumns I have also labelled them with the four levels. The vertical axis
is
the "dominant value", the horizontal is "dominated value".
What this chart allows me to do is see how the levels interact when one
static
pattern controls or dominates another. Within the boxes I have examples of
the interactions. For example if the Inorganic dominates the biological, an
example is "DEATH". Social dominating social can be either "WAR" or
"CULTURAL EXCHANGE".
I am a visual thinker, and this model has given me an entirely new insight on
the levels, on morality, and on the MOQ. It shows how some boxes are only
immoral......as when lower patterns dominate higher patterns. Some higher
patterns dominating lower ones seem to be immoral too, but I am not sure if
my
characterizing of the interaction is naive.........For example is a hydrogen
bomb an immoral dominance of intellect over matter, or is it immoral because
the social level has "kidnapped" the intellectual to produce it? Or is it
moral?
As you can see this model doesn't hand over straight answers, but for those
of
you liking visual models, give it a try---it helps frame the problems better.
Roger
