    Hi Johnny,

    Thanks for further explaining your "expectation" theory of reality. As I
    see it, what you call expectation reality is the same as the reality of
    static value patterns which, as you say, are needed for us to make
    sense of things. These static patterns are the social and intellectual
    "lenses" we automatically use to interpret the raw data of experience.
    That the data falls into expected patterns making up static (expected)
    reality comes as no surprise. But, as you point out, every once in a
    while DQ "surprises us," presenting something out of the ordinary.
    That's the time to pay special attention. Something possibly
    evolutionary either has happened, or is about to.

    I was confused because I assumed you were proposing that an
    individual's expectation could influence DQ prior to the quality event,
    thus substituting one's belief about what would happen in the future for
    DQ itself. My mistake.
