DM: I think that is dead right about how MOQ avoids dualism. But what is the status of all the SQ and the levels we can seem to order them into? I think that we can see all the SQ as a plurality of patterns and levels (a many) and hence SOM is neither dualist or essentialist, but is a quality-experience monism with a plurality of SQ as a Many coming out of the One of quality. That's how I see it working. I would also add what is the status of what liew outside of experience? Clearly we do make sense of experience with ideas about what we have not experienced. Many examples: black holes, potential depressions, the future, the pre-human past, what lies beyond our corner of the universe.
[Krimel] Well I agree that the MoQ is nothing if not a monism but our resident apple polishing fair-haired boy is now claiming it is a plurality. Even a dualism like SOM would be preferable to such polytheistic bull hockey. Go figure.
