> Intellectual patterns have a dynamic component and a static component.
Here's an intellectual pattern. "My dog has fleas." Now please point
out the dynamic and static components and why you think they are so.
squonk: That's a fair question.
Static component = symbolic linguistic repertoire, 'My, dog, has, fleas +
associated smells, sights, sounds, alternatives.' These patterns are learned.
Dynamic component = intuited coherent aesthetic relationship between static
repertoire and DQ.
Note: The Dynamic component can vary in its aesthetic. For example, the
Dynamic component may cohere as the aesthetically more pleasing static pattern: 'My
fleas have a dog.' <joke - followed by Dynamic laughter>

Again, very difficult for me to follow. How does symbolic manipulation
become more dynamic? Can you cite some examples? What do you mean by
self-serving? Who's the self in this case?
squonk: Symbolic manipulation is more Dynamic when the relationship between
DQ and the static repertoire becomes open to more coherent and aesthetic
relationships. For example, if i spoke French, then there is the potential for the
intuited aesthetic coherence of 'My dog has fleas' to become, 'Mon chien has
one flea on his chin.'
By self serving i mean less reliant upon lower levels.
The self in this case is the sum total of all intellectual static patterns
that constitute 'squonk.'

Don't mean to be rude, but it's Greek to me.
squonk: That's funny. You are being Dynamic, but relevant also. And i
appreciate you taking the time to say it. My fear is that so many years have been
spent debating that which is not expanding the MoQ, that once any serious attempt
at immersion within the MoQ and see things from its perspective sound like,
errrrr, Greek.
I think you may agree that sexual choice made biological patterns more
responsive to Quality? All i am saying is that ancient Greek culture did something
vaguely analogous to symbolic manipulation. I have argued that this leap is not
dependent on any subject/object divide - rather, its an aesthetic of
inference method used in geometry - intellectual art.
