    I don't know if what you describe above is a common view of the MoQ, held by many, it's certainly not mine. An SPOV is neither a particular nor a pattern of particulars. It is (a) value(s). Being a value it realizes the potential of another value being unequal to itself. (without value there cannot be another value). In dynamic quality there is no value, this is the essence of everything.
