Is DQ to be construed as flux itself, or perhaps the essence of flux? Then
if DQ is "higher" than SQ, perhaps we have a return to the philosophical
"urstoff" of the Pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus, who maintained that
the essence of the Universe is flux. His classic formulation is: "You
cannot
step twice in the same river, for new waters move on as you take the
second step."
