Chin,
No, I don't think this is out of line, but it doesn't address my concern, nor does your previous post. My concern is that we are aware of change, but we are also aware of our continuity. If we examine what we observe more closely, we see that all there is is change. So where does the awareness of change come from, given that it requires that something (our sense of self) doesn;t change *through* the change we observe.
This is an old philosophical problem, called the problem of mind. All that we observe (except ourself) is always changing. So where does our sense of continuous self come from? All that the MOQ does is rename the problem, not resolve it. I don't think there is a resolution, but with the logic of contradictory identity the problem is more clearly stated.

Do you ever get the feeling you should have said something else? This is what i think i should have said;
Change is imbedded in DQ. It is what DQ is all about, but it is not an awareness of change that doesn't improve Quality, it is an awareness of change that does improve Quality. DQ is confined to change, as it can be nothing else, other than SQ, and the observance of change in SQ becomes the DQ, either in agreement or opposition.
DQ is awareness in its observance. Where the observer stands depends on where the observer stands, just as the Quality of a picture comes from where the observer, photographer stands. Our awareness of change stands on our DQ/SQ observance, or where we stand on our DQ/SQ observance.
Am i out of line?
Chin
