    Paul:
    What I meant by "fundamental" here was: that which everything is
    composed of, or in terms of a philosophy, that which everything must be
    described by.

    In a SOM everything is composed of mind or matter, and accordingly
    everything must be described in terms of a subject and objects.

    In the MOQ, everything is composed of value, and accordingly everything
    must be described in terms of value.

    The distinction I made is that anything that is *a pattern of* value is
    real, but it is value itself that is fundamental. Subjects and objects
    are described as patterns of value. Hence, subjects and objects are real
    but not fundamental.

    Paul:
    There are certainly different ways of dividing reality. I think "current
    and remembered" comes close to Dynamic and static, actually.
