Hi Johnny- sounds interesting. One thing that struck me reading 'Lila' is
that from the point of view of the static, social level of 'Quality',
disruption can come from either above or below; from 'Dynamic Quality' or
'the biological level.' It seems to me that an old Western (at least)
paradigm is to associate DQ and bQ; they are seen as one force, creative and
destructive, which exists in uneasy dialectic with the SQ of society. The
Freudian and post-Freudian id, for example. 'Lila' is apparently DQ, but it
is also the dance, the symbol of the bodily and erotic life.
Deterministic dynamism sounds more Stephen Wolfram-like to me.
By the way, are 'static' and 'dynamic' taken from Bergson?
