Hi Chris, (and Ham, and DM, and Matt, et al) that idea has done the rounds here before too,
A metaphysics is "merely" an intellectual pattern. Agreed. Ham called it "only" a theory. We're all agreed. Such a pattern may indeed be bound to SOMism - when it starts. The clue is "when it starts". MoQ includes the basis of its own evolution, from that start point. (For me that's its perfection - but it's a recursive cycle that breaks the logic in some people's heads.) Anyway, having evolved from SOMism to a Quality-based metaphysics, it hasn't stopped evolving, (and it still can't have answered any "first-cause" question, nothing can, beyond theory.)
