Hi msh,
It's value.
Value is before subject and object, but value is not an absolute in that it
is not anything by itself. S/O is created from value, and value is created
from S/O, and value is in S/O, and value is Quality(?)
Subject does not (but can) create the object, and objects don't (but can)
create the subjects, either can be replaced by value, and all that can be
perceived comes from value, as value can be perceived in any way(?)
S/O are perceived to be real(?)
My observation of what he is saying is that the particles and waves desire
to be held together, and the value (Quality) which is the gravity missing in
physics which confuses physics, and is the link that removes this confusion.
Just guessing, but I like where you are heading.
Chin
