[Platt] The criterion is freedom and Dynamic Quality is the force that drives evolution towards betterness.
[Krimel] Actually, you have it backwards Static Quality is the measure of 'betterness'. Static Quality sets constraints on freedom. It limits degrees of freedom. It reduces the range of variation. Without SQ freedom would be unconstrained, infinitely variable. There would be no ability to predict future events, no coherence at all in the world. 'Betterness' is apprehended only in static patterns, in relationships that can be evaluated as good or bad. DQ and 'freedom' are sources of variation and uncertainty. Sometimes the surprises they bring are good; more often they are not, as in the case of mutations in biological evolution.
