Welcome back Diana.
I have some thoughts about your FAQ suggestions.
> What is inorganic quality?
>
> Inorganic quality is what is usually understood as matter.
I'd like to add at least energy to that.
>
> What is biological quality?
>
> Biological quality is life and that which propagates life.
Why don't we just use the definitions from SODV for now? That
goes for the other levels too I suppose. We seem to have
different opinions about them when we extrapolate on our own.
> How do humans fit into the four levels of Static Quality?
>
> People are cohesions of changing static patterns of value. All living
> humans and all animals and plants are biological value because of the
> very fact that they are alive. A human who has been raised in a society
> will also be possessed by social values. These values may be recognized
> in the form of beliefs, behavior, speech patterns, customs and so on.
> Humans raised in most modern societies are also possessed by
> intellectual value. This is recognized as an ability to reason.
I don't agree with much of this but I think you know that and I won't
repeat myself. At least state that this is one way to describe a
human in terms of the four levels, not *the* way.
