no,no .. Im with Bohr:
Quantum flux will never be understood. (I'll just speak in bumper-sticker
lines, alright? :-))
But I think that for something to strive towards Dynamic Quality, a choice
or decision has to be made. That also is why I feel that only sentient
beings can percieve quality.

that's fair enough...DQ seems to be everything in the world that isn't SQ,
and as more and more become SQ, the DQ boundaries have to move along...

What is in sentient beings that put them apart from a big pile of rocks
say, is exactly the fact that sentient beings can perceive quality. And the
fact that they consist of only non-sentient parts is secondary..that's just
the point...that the primary thing isn't the objective parts of sentient
beings, but rather the quality they percieve. You can then break up the
perception of another sentient being (or yourself) into smaller parts that
existing seperately are non-sentient.
