HI Martin and LS
I agree with you when you say:
MARTIN:
"Dynamic Quality is the undefinable dynamic leading edge, it would
be aninjustice to call it 'chaos,' 'energy,' 'the processor' and so
forth. It is the changes in the world and your mind takes a split
second to recognize these changes, thus it is always ahead of
analysis/categorization/definition. Static quality is the stuff that
survives from dynamic moments (quality events). It continues to
exist in a more static form."
As this seems to be similar to my own position when I said:
"SQ is what remains after DQ has done it's stuff ..."
The above also includes a reference to the pre-intellectual nature of
change, with recognition of change lagging slightly behind the
quality event.
I also think that what survives - SQ - survives as memory of
different forms. So:
Inorganic memory = Substance (Energy/Matter)
Biological memory = Genes (Instinct)
Social Memory = Tradition (Cultural Beliefs, Laws etc.)
Intellectual memory = Ideas (Thought, Science etc. )
The above examples in parentheses are not necessarily exhaustive.
I'm not sure how much we differ in our acceptance of the DQ/SQ
separation. My own view is that they are only separable
intellectually, with the more evolved patterns remaining stable for
shorter periods.
I agree with you completely about the matter/energy split as this
would place reality (and consequently the MoQ) entirely within the
inorganic level. Call me old-fashioned if you will, but this doesn't
seem right.
