    To me apprehend does not imply 'communication' as it is not a two-way street.

    When DQ is really
    > primary, we are not the static patterns that 'respond' to DQ (that

    Respond also implies that 'communication' is taking place which to me isn't
    correct.

    , we are a union between static

    Our identity does not 'contain' DQ our 'identity' is our patterns which are
    capable of apprehending Dynamic Quality.
