    Joe;
    If there is a process in my thoughts about analogy, evolution, I would not
    use the word 'description' as key.

    IMO analogues for evolution are gravity (inorganic), purpose (organic),
    existence (social order), creation (intellectual, unfinished s/o).

    How an evolutionary analogy is pertinent from the inorganic order is not a
    static description. Timeless 'operations' (evolution is in time, but the
    analogy is timeless) sustain the analogy of dynamic/static quality. IMO
    'description' is a word of time, and does not capture the word 'intellect'.

    Wolff;
    Very good.

    May I ask, when you are speaking in terms of analogy, are you speaking in a
    philosophical sense as to how philosophies are related? – or have you been
    studying Socrates maybe(?) – or maybe relating more to artistic analogy and
    the idea that concepts cannot be fully understood by words?

    How would you tie this Analogy to Quality?
