[David Buchanan] Roger: Thanks for laying it out so cleanly
once again. I hope lots of responses are posted. I'll just give you the
short answers, as you suggest. But I'm also interested in the questions
you posed earlier and will respond in more detail there. But that'll be
days from now, I'm afraid. In the mean time....
Q1) Dymanic Quality is the ground and source of being, the
mysticial reality.
Q2) Quality Events are moments of creation, when patterns form.
Q3) Static Quality is a patterned, stable form of Quality, that
is not dynamic.
Q4) Thru a series of QEs, static patterns evolve toward
greater quality, complexity and freedom. The evolution of many static
patterns over time creates enough stability, enough "context" for new
levels to emerge. Its a building process. Inorganic patterns seem to
emerge out of chaos or are grounded directly in DQ. But the organic
patterns require the first level as its ground of being. Life needs
planets and water molecules and stuff like that. When biological forms
reached a certain level of stability, social patterns of value began to
evolve. The social level has the organic level as its ground of being.
Packs need wolves and Society needs people. In exactly the same way,
intellectual patterns emerge out of the social level patterns and depend
on it as its ground, its reality. But the really cool thing is, there no
reason to think the intellectual level could not evolve and mature
enough to give birth to some unimaginable fifth level. On the other hand
it was only born yesterday and is quite the infant itself.
Q5) The evolution of the static patterns is toward Quality.
Ok, so I got carried away with one of the questions. GOO made
me do it.
