    Another way to put this: "Harmony" describes the fundamental source of
    all. From this source emanates an energy that, guided by the principle of
    rightness, creates order from chaos. Another name for this creative source
    is "Beauty" and/or "Quality"

    If I've misconstrued your meaning, I hope you'll correct me.

    Regards,
    Platt
