That's how I see it, differentiation is another word
for static latching.

SQ is opposed to DQ, it resists coalescence.

Perhaps, this is why I want to fully explore my
perceived anthropocentricity of the MOQ.

The tension created by the DQ-SQ opposition is a
hiatus of boundless potential.

We need to experience this, we need to be familiar
with this experience of coherence. When static
patterns make expected static responses,
differentiation prohibits coherent action, but it can
feel right because it is static morality.
When static patterns make Dynamic novel responses,
coalescence enables coherent action.
By coherent action, you understand, I do not mean
uniform or unilateral action. I mean that everything
does the right thing in the right measure. As an
analogy, an orchestra is coherent when all instruments
are played in a different way but the result is an
undifferentiated harmony. This is what I mean when I
say at once a coalescence and a differentiation. There
is no contradiction.

Right, but this awareness of DQ-SQ tension/equilibrium
is already a huge step towards betterness. Do you
agree?
It is indeed a high Quality endeavour to be sensitive
to the tension in all aspects of life. When the
tension is recognised as bad from a static perspective
only and isn't to be turned away from we open up to
absolute change and see the futility of static
attachment.

Hello Paul,
I feel we are in complete agreement.
Have been giving some thought to your anthropocentric view of the MoQ - a
view i feel will provide much insight. This, 'View from within' changes
throughout the day?
Indian raga's help to form a backdrop of harmonic ritual - who we think we
are depends on those patterns that at that moment happen to be dominating us?
Movement may be towards a total harmonising, throughout the day, seasons and
life?
Life flows on within you and without you?
All the best,
squonk
