Essence is undivided and incapable of labeling. Use the word "Quality" if
you must; but I think Value in its common meaning best expresses this
concept.
DM: My problem with this is 'essence' is a label that appears in the same
sentence
as ' incapable of labeling ', Quality is another label and just seems
to be one you don't like. I think essence sounds too much like Plato's
forms. I don't like a separate realm of forms because if anything
DQ is not so much a realm of forms than a source of forms, a source
without limit in its form making capacity, therefore calling a source
of infinite potential a separate realm of forms makes it sound too static,
as if
what is potential is already formed and that would be a SQ world rather than
a DQ source.
Of course, you are looking for insight at exactly the same point that I am
addressing,
so we differ but are very close together.
