    Dear Sam,

    Somewhat longer back, in your 20 Apr 2003 18:00:47 +0100 post, your
    expressed surprise that I distinguish randomly new from new which is DQ
    with:
    'DQ leaves static quality (patterns) in its wake. Coincidence (random
    change) doesn't.'

    You replied:
    'This makes the discernment of DQ dependent on SQ. I don't disagree with
    that, but I am surprised that it is an argument you would make. Have I
    understood you correctly?'

    You understood me correctly, but is only part of the story of course. To
    understand the relation between DQ and sq we have to apply Scott/Nishida's
    'logic of contradictory identity': Even though static and dynamic contradict
    each other, they are both Quality. They are mutually dependent on each
    other.
    DQ depends on sq, because it can only be recognized by the static patterns
    of value it leaves in its wake.
    Sq also depends on DQ however, because the measure of static quality is the
    dynamic that created it: the higher evolved, the higher the static quality.

    With friendly greetings,

    Wim
