Hello Joe and Bo, [Bo to Joe] But right now the said "logic itself" has brought me some qualms: If 1+1=2 is something even Quality is subordinated, then IT (logic) is the most basic reality there is. This we better come to grips with. What do you think .....no new levels or roamings though ;-) I think you kinda have to take the 1+1=2 thing with a grain of salt. It's just a convenient short-hand because there is an infinity of numbers between any two other numbers. Everything we do in mathematics is based on ignoring the infinite, so Quality is not subordinate to 1+1=2, because this is not strictly true.

Imho In a mathematical description of reality SQ is a defined 1. Definition is necessary for logic. Mathematics is a conception like SQ while DQ remains a perception beyond definition. In MOQ DQ is undefined. It and looks up and down, thereby losing the rigidity needed for a definition necessary to mathematics. MOQ upholds truthfully the metaphysical value DQ which is indescribable in a mathematical language since it is not defined, but still perceived. DQ is the base point for a direction of + and in a metaphysical schema for evolution and cannot be described as 0 and retain any meaning for metaphysics. DQ becomes both + in evolution and in definition and remains the same. Higher or lower levels in existence describe evolution in reality. Mathematical logic is destructive of such existence by insisting on a defined symbol which ignores existence in its search for definition. Existence is a positive in the negative environment of a violence which would deprive me of my existence Mathematical logic is valueless looking to + or - as only up or down. For DQ and evolution the logic of mathematics fails in determining whether 0 is positive or negative. Mathematics loses focus and returns an error message when dividing by 0. Logic is destroyed. SQ/DQ is 1/0 indeterminate, error lurks there. 0 is the base for opposing directions + and . Division by 0 is indeterminate and outside mathematics the logic of 1. Therefore in the sense of present or absent, + or -, words are necessary. Who knows? DQ/SQ 0/1=0. Decisive but no hint of evolution, an order in existence! Accountability for my actions is assured through a free (undefined) choice. This suggests that DQ is a defined order in existence, evolution. It has a positive direction without a determination of Direction +/-. Decision follows the direction of DQ the undefined in SQ ordered existence. What level? Ordered decision is SQ. Logic, an ordered decision, demands the definition of 1. 1/0 is indeterminate, no logic possible. Decisions 0/1 indicates that evolution starts from 0! DQ is indeterminate when describing levels. I just can¹t decide. SQ is the necessary element for a description of levels. In undefined DQ the placement of I which is indeterminate and free determines which direction I will go to approach 1 which is defined. What I decide to do sometimes from the influence of DQ is illogicalfree-will. But when I do it the level of evolution is determined sometimes wrongly. Morality! The level of evolution in our actions is not necessarily consciousness, the highest level we achieve. Rather any DQ level of evolution can decide any action. Social laws of morality SQ determine actions when we are unaware in levels in evolution. The Social level, in its emotional pull for a decision, can decide from an unknown level in evolution and imposes restrictions on behavior beyond metaphysical justification, thereby causing a justified rebellion. Intention follows DQ in SQ morality. Your description of the Taliban¹s abstraction of the authority of the ruler at the social level to create an all-powerful deity, describes how DQ can be misused to overthrow logic. I do not know what I am doing is the rule of the day for a lot of actions in war and peace! Gravity, instinct, consciousness, all DQ, become decision makers, willy-nilly, in DQ/SQ reality. I choose to do what I am doing, free-will, sometimes does not recognize evolution and prison is a proper response! Undefined DQ empowers my action rather than SQ 1. I know of no logic for the undefined except evolution, an order in existence, morality! The adherence to scriptures of the past with an ordered existence has become confused by SQ, mathematical precision. The need for a greater emphasis on the reality of differing levels in existence, evolution, a supposition in philosophical circles, is one answer to morality. Without a sense of evolution I define 1 from any level, wily-nily, and my actions promote chaos. It is not patently obvious in a mathematical driven society that in evolution the 1 of the inorganic level is not the 1 of the intellectual level, etc., after all 1 is 1 static reasoning. Logic becomes hopelessly entangled in a mathematical precision inimical to common sense. How can I experience the undefined? Metaphysics is 1. DQ/SQ! Mathematics is 1, 1+1=2. The undefined resides in MOQ a relative (which level of evolution) view of 1. DQ is indefinable, an order in existence, evolution. Definition follows SQ. There is order in existence, metaphysics, evolution. Experience is DQ/SQ and I am held responsible for what I do. I abide by an order in existence incorporated hopefully in local laws to stay out of jail which have been proven wrong many times. So much for logic! 1/0 is indefinite. Logic demands definition. I cannot jump on my horse and ride off in all directions. Mathematics is not metaphysics. DQ is not 0. DQ is undefined in the relationship to a defined 1. Definition requires something to be defined. Mathematics 1 is a secondary relationship to the existential evolutionary forces, the metaphysics of reality, DQ/SQ.
