I like the back and forth metaphor, David.
I've been thinking about this for a while. I think maybe Struan originally
posed the question a week or so ago. What I've come up with is that there is
really no contradiction in saying the universe originated out of DQ and
struggles to return to it at the same time.
The thing that is responding to DQ is a static pattern. When the universe was
formed the only static patterns existing were inorganic. If you ask a static
inorganic pattern to respond to a Social level DQ advance, for instance, it
makes no sense. It can't do it because it has no frame of reference for Social
level values. The inorganic can only respond to kinds of DQ it can deal with.
Same is true for all levels. It seems to me that there is infinite DQ out
there, but that the static hierarchy has to be sufficiently advanced to even
consider taking advantage of it. So, in this way the Universe was formed from
a response to Inorganic DQ, and continues to strive for higher and higher
levels of DQ. Or, put another way, you can lead a horse to water but you can't
make him drink.
