    Wim, DMB, Davor,

    I still fill puzzled about this put you are helping
    Wim so just few more questions..

    >Pirsig used it in a specific MoQ context. Building on Pirsig's usage,
    >'degeneracy' in my version of the MoQ means falling back on a 'lower' static
    >latch when a static pattern of value dissolves.

    ERIN: ok

    I see no paradox, unless you mistake the two levels of meaning of 'life'.
    'Life' understood as a biological pattern of value is not the same as the
    life of an individual organism. 'Life of an individual organism' understood
    as a (smaller scale) biological pattern of value is not the same as the life
    of one of its constituent parts.

    ERIN: ok that helped
     I think maybe I was confusing them.
    So with the big "Life" I just have one more
    question.
    Is "Life" increasing overall?
    If it is then it seems Quality is increasing?
    If not then how does it keep balanced--the only way
    I could see that if sq was becoming more static
    and dq was becoming more dynamic.

    Thanks,

    erin

    P.S. monkey tail's or what? I always feel left
    in suspense:-)
