Right.

We all agree on "catechism" #1: "Quality is Reality". (or we all -like- the
idea, anyways)

We all agree that "static" and "dynamic" is a -good- way to split this
"primal" Ethical Essence. (catechism #2)

We disagree on how to define Quality, Reality, Dynamic Quality, and Static
Patterns of Value. Hmmm...

(apologies for dogmatic barking)

Yes-siree-bob. There is a great need for further rhetorical journeys into
the depths of the linguistic/intellectually expressed "DQ".

I am thinking that each new level is "more" Dynamic than its predecessors...

Ah, Yes! Thank-you. Of course - the "truths" of our intellectual
distinctions are NOT subject to s/o yes/no thinking (Western mythos)! They
are "better" or "worse", have "more" or "less" value...

For me

Nope. Can you explain optimum? I have little mathematical knowledge - I'll
ask a friend to show me a Gaussian distribution tonight, though.

Dutch (Euro) citizenship a couple years ago! Perhaps I can buy you a
Heineken when I'm next in the Netherlands (Christmas in Amsterdam
hopefully!)
