Joe, I find I enjoy reading your posts more when I treat them as poetry. Otherwise I get all twisted out trying to figure out your structure.
Poetic license, to the rescue! We need heroes. I like four levels. it works for me. I have four limbs! Standing on the earth I first perceive four directions before I discover the seventh. The dynamic aspect of quality IS the evolutionary drive on each level. Thus Emotion is only DQ in relation to the 3rd level. We are happy when socially acceptable and sad when rejected. That emotion is hardwired to our biology, but it's more than mere synapses and chemical firings. The biological mechanisms are there to reinforce and urge us toward social quality! Emotions are DQ to the social level. Even the fear of predator is a social pattern. Eater/eaten takes two. Always. Fear of other is social. Always. Digestion is biological, all it takes is organism organized. Once the tiger catches us, our social days are over. The next leap upward is toward intellectual reason - the subduing of subjective emotions by objective analysis. SOM - the kindergarten of Intellectualism. I admire you! Big family! Big tribe! Big fun! Keep up with the poetry.
