    A thought can 'arise', which is experiencing/valueing. You become aware of the thought that was not previously there, so you've excluded the thought from the 'unthought'.
    Also, a lot of thoughts already exist and you can work your brain on it, this is what I mean by thinking.

    Thinking (becoming aware of thoughts) is the valueing-process that creates SQ.
    Everything is DQ, once we nominate a part of DQ, be it as a molecule, be it as a car, be it as a thought, it becomes SQ (on a certain level).

    Experience? yes
