Indeed it does! Especially when you say:

It seems to me that too many are still focused on that DQ has to be
the agent involved when a step up the static ladder is to be made.
Mediation from an already existing higher level works just as good,
and I also think that the lower level's experience of the change is
equal, regardless of the agent involved.
I also appreciate your examples. They are a little less constructed
than mine and probably more accessible to most. But beware of DQ
sneaking in here and there. That's mostly why I try to avoid real
life examples, they are too crowded with DQ influence. And I guess
I'm not quite ready for that yet. First I have to figure out SQ.
As to my thoughts about AI. I think I should brief you on my current
view on that. I really think that computers are topmost intellectual
patterns of value. No DQ in sight though, we have ruled that out on
the electrical level. The social patterns are the composition of the
components in a computer and the different parts are the organs built
using inorganic patterns. The intellectual level are supported by the
language between the organs, the electrical language.
Another very interesting thing in a computer are the ones and zeros.
I think those are inorganic patterns supported by the computer in
the same way our inorganic patterns are supported by a lower level.
The ones and zeros in turn are used by organic patterns (subroutines,
objects (ha ha :-)) and they are in turn used by the social level,
the programs.
