    As I quoted to Scott

    From SODV:
    "In the third box are the biological patterns: senses of touch, sight
    hearing, smell and taste. The Metaphysics of Quality follows the
    empirical tradition here in saying that the senses are the starting
    point of reality, but -- all importantly -- it includes a sense of
    value. Values are phenomena. To ignore them is to misread the world."

    Could anything be clearer?
