I wouldn't say that DQ created SQ, and certainly not that only DQ *really* exists.
Your cycle of reality - DQ to SQ to ... - reminds me of my "merry go round" idea
in my essay, but with one big difference. Each full cycle is a different
universe and as such cut-off from the universes below it.
I also disagree that SQ will "return" to DQ, it will become more and more
dynamic yes, but we can't measure dynamism and we can't say that it will
return to the same DQ as before because it's still dependent on all levels
in between the two DQs.

I'm afraid I'll strike the ostrich pose on that one. I've actually been
opposed to introducing levels up and down in the past, but this one has
been growing for some time now and I had to let it out. I'm not ready to
think about your question yet, on the other hand, I don't think the levels
are "created" by other levels, patterns are created by lower level patterns
but the levels are metaphysical, not physical.

As correctly as anyone else I suppose, I do have another theory though.
My theory goes something like this: Each step up to a higher level has to
be latched securely, this is done by making the patterns self duplicating.
For example, DNA made it possible to make large molecules, each (almost)
identical with its parent.
Now, somehow, some kind of self duplication started where there uptil then
was no space, no time, no energy, no matter, no inorganic laws of nature.
This self duplication was instantaneous, because prior to it, there was no
time. So, the Big Bang would rather be the Big Gang Bang. (Did I say that? :)
