Does this mean that Quality (Dynamic) -experiences- static patterns of value
(subjects and objects)? This is a very interesting way of phrasing it. In
fact, Dynamic Quality in this scenario represents
what I was calling "soul" in last month's LS discussion, with the spov's
which are experienced and willed by and the subject/object of consciousness
(Quality - "Direct Experience") being the "self" (placetime, body, culture,
philosophy).
Whaddya think?
(rereading, I tend to disagree with myself...but I gotta go)

What do you mean by 'unitary'?

Yes. I would have attempted to find some esoteric/obscure word for it,
whereas you when right to the factory. Much better.
Off to the pond!
