Hi Mark
I think that is pretty good, because it equates DQ with being human
and SQ with something a bit robotic which seems about right.
regards

Hello everyone,
I wonder if Asimov's three laws of robotics can be applied to an MOQ structure?
His three laws state:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
If we modify this structure to behave in terms of the MOQ moral hierarchy, the application may run something like this:
1. Static Quality may obey its own laws except where such laws would conflict with DQ.
2. Static Quality must respond to DQ except where such responses would restrict DQ.
3. Static Quality must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
Each level would have to be able to form coherent relationships with ones below and above it, and perhaps with coherent relationships of many levels below it.
All the best,
Mark M.
