Hello MoQer's,

Here is part of a bounced post from our 'more friendly squad' the LS
group, but without cuts:

According to the MoQ, how do we know about the kind of choices we make.
Where are the Golden Rules? I look at it as a big Puzzle. I have seen
pieces of it everywhere on this web site. What we need is just go and
find them from the archives and from our Minds and write them down.

Here is part of my idea and hoe to put it into practice:

  If I remember correctly, we did have a list of MoQ principles on the
web
  page for a while, but I don't think it's there anymore. We talked a
lot
  about it last winter-spring I believe............

Carmen:
I don't have time to search right now, but shouldn't that be somewhere
in the archives?Then we
could re-start it from there. I think it is a very good idea to just
start it somewhere and then someone
with editing skills (or all of us) could refined them. Like I mentioned
in the post from the LS, I keep seen those pieces
to the puzzle here and there, but we need a concentration point so to
speak. The newsletter could be a good place for it, once it has gone
through some analysis some where else (like in the MD_discuss).
The idea came to me while reading Pithagoras's work. At the end of the
book, in the back as a
glossary, there was written the 'Pithagoras's Golden Verses' by
Hierocles (I am not sure of the
translation of the tittle, because my book is in spanish). To my
astonishment, many if not all, of the verses would fit into the MoQ
architecture. The format was very interesting, because after each
principle or verse there was a 'comment' paragraph, giving a more
informal explanation to the verse or principle. [I am sure there is a
version of the same thing written in English, because my book is a
translation]. But, I am not sure if the original is written in that
format, with the 'comment' parragraph.[I will check my classic 'CD's and
see]. "

Carmen: from the 'bounced LS post':

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE MoQ. Comming soon to a website near
you......

Carmen: I have seen or read the pieces everywhere. Since it will be
against the 'LS'
rules to go off the subject. I would like to make a special request:
Let's take that tittle and move it over the MD_discuss area, keep it
under a
'common name thread' and gather as many 'MoQ fundamental principles' as
we can
find. Later on, we could set up a 'space' for this subject. Is there one

already?
I, for one, will read on the archives with an analytical eye and bring
out
those pieces to the puzzle. Does any of you think this to be a good
idea?

[I am rushing now, so please bear with me]
Here is another 'fundamental principal' I found only recently on the MD
'communicating between levels' thread from the dreadful MD_discuss area:

2.-
"Each level communicates directly to the adjacent level. There is not
jumping
around, for example from the intellectual level to the inorganic level.
" (If I
had more time, I would find the exact quote, it is from our French MoQer
D.
Poisson and Mary's posts, june 7th).
Plus, I am sure we could find more in those 'archives'. What a
project!!!!
