I wonder why an increase in the speed of evolution necessarily makes
numerical measurement of values inoperative?
Mark 5-1-04: Hi Platt, I have misunderstood your enquiry. Sorry.
I don't think there can be a numerical evaluation of values, because
numerical measurement is an aesthetic sense of proportion invented by Human intellect.
I do not feel these proportions are 'out there' to be discovered, but are
mapped around experience in a hyper-linguistic sense.
In short, we cannot rely on intellectual creations to measure all values,
even if they share in the total harmonic nature of reality SQ-SQ coherence?

Measure of value is a five fold entity? I can account for three folds--an
observer, an observed and a measurement. But what are the other two?
Thanks Mark,
Platt
Mark 5-1-04: The five fold entity i have in mind is
Inorganic/Biological/Social/Intellectual and DQ. I am all these, so are you, and we are connected at
our evolutionary roots and via DQ.
When we/I measure inorganic value we do so as a five fold entity - unless we
are bungy jumping, in which case we get pretty close to feeling our inorganic
nature in full dominance?! ;) I also imagine bungy jumping to be pretty
Dynamic?
Here, many people may interject with an Idealist interpretation of what i am
saying? I would argue that our Intellectual coherence shares a commonality
with all structures whether they be inorganic, organic, etc. So, to appreciate
the intellectual aesthetic nature of everything is to share and participate in
the inorganic/organic/social aesthetic of the continuum. In the MoQ, there is
rather less differentiation and division than in many other philosophies?
All the best,
Mark
