Hi Steve, "Freedom from static patterns" might itself be called a static pattern. But I agree that creating specific forms or conceptions is NOT the DQ purpose. I characterize the DQ purpose as "openess to possibilities of evolutionary advancement." Does that description resonate with your idea of DQ?
