Hello David M,
The quote you attribute to me here was in fact made by Steve.
Thanks,
Mark :)

The second perspective is represented by Quality = Reality. The
equating of Quality and Reality is not empirical to the extent that we
don't simply mean "Experience" when we say "Reality," but rather
Quality = Reality is an evolutionary theory.
DM: Not so sure. The only known reality is an experienced one.
Reality is an event, an event is where the multiplicity of the possible
collapses into the specific actual. Where the possible is richer
than the real/actual as Prigogine says. But, of course, as particle
interference patterns show, the possible has an influence on the
present, and where there are possibilities there are choices, and
choices imply experience/consciousness. A man pauses at a junction
in the road because he has to decide which of his possible futures
he wishes to embrace. But alternatively, there are aspects of reality
that may be without experience/consciouness. When 2 marbles hit
the sq of each attempts to retain the shape of the marble resulting in an
elastic collision and repulsion, perhaps such interaction is mechanistic
in some sense, i.e. without any consideration/influence/purpose about
what sort of future is most valued.
