    Hello Steve,
    If static patterning is extruded from the cutting edge of Dynamic Quality,
    then all static patterns are the result of moral choice. That says to me that
    although DQ is no thing, every thing owes its being to DQ. Therefore, DQ is
    in everything, which is close to a pantheistic belief that God is in
    everything?

    Peter.
