    Bo:
    "A better idea"? You take for granted that it will be an idea that
    accept
    MOQ's axioms? What if it rejects them? Even the scenario that you
    paint of a system where the MOQ is some subset will mean that
    VALUE is not the fundamental reality any more, and that it's picture
    of DQ is left ...even that of DQ operating under different analogies.
    THAT is just another idea according to you, isn't it?

    Paul:

    "What Phædrus has been talking about as Quality, Socrates appears to
    have described as the soul, self-moving, the source of all things. There
    is no contradiction. There never really can be between the core terms of
    monistic philosophies. The One in India has got to be the same as the
    One in Greece. If it's not, you've got two. The only disagreements among
    the monists concern the attributes of the One, not the One itself. Since
    the One is the source of all things and includes all things in it, it
    cannot be defined in terms of those things, since no matter what thing
    you use to define it, the thing will always describe something less than
    the One itself. The One can only be described allegorically, through the
    use of analogy, of figures of imagination and speech." [ZMM Ch.30]
      
    "The Metaphysics of Quality would show how things become enormously more
    coherent - fabulously more coherent - when you start with an assumption
    that Quality is the primary empirical reality of the world...." [Lila
    p.76]
