    Steve:

    I guess it depends on what you mean by ³everything.¹ The traditional idea
    of pantheism is based on a material understanding of ³thing.²

    Still, while defining ³thing² as ³pattern of value² is a great innovation
    on materialism it could be thought of as a new sort of materialism.

    Is it the same to say, ³only that which has value is real,² and ³all of that
    which we know to be real is composed of value²? I think there is a
    difference.

    All things have quality, but I think it is problematic to say that
    God/Quality is limited to the sum total of all things. In the moq, DQ which
    is not a thing under any definition would be left out, for example.
