Hi Bo and All!

I hope my views are not that dreadful Bo? ;)

Interaction - Sensation - Emotion - Reason.

I did not like your list.
It drove me round the bend wondering why i did not like it?
I thrashed about; wrote first, asked questions later.
Today it hit me!

The MOQ suggests four levels of morality.
This makes the four levels four different life forms!
They are in competition for dominance, and as such cannot be placed into the
causal chain you suggest.

The four life forms are at war with each other; the link between them is
evolutionary and is one of value not causation.

As such your list is misleading and unnecessary.
Your list suggests a causal link where no causal link exists.
The four levels of morality inhere in DQ, and it is to DQ that one should
look for a link.

Now i look at my replacement list i put forward:

Resonance - Sympathy - Evocation - Coherence.

Why did i go for these terms?
Because i believe i was searching for a Horizontal connection between the
links in the chain and not a Vertical connection.

Resonance - Sympathy - Evocation - Coherence.
       | | | |
Resonance - Sympathy - Evocation - Coherence.

Inorganic patterns resonate with each other as mediated via DQ.
Organic patterns are in sympathy with each other as mediated via DQ.
Social patterns evoke each other as mediated via DQ.
Intellectual patterns Cohere with each other as mediated via DQ.

My violin allegory was an attempt to search for an overall Dynamic which
links the levels: DQ is the performance i guess.
I like to feel life is one happy song....!

All the best,
Squonk. :-)
