Dan:
No, not in this context. You are talking about static patterns of
value. Dynamic Quality is what's better. It is what drives static
quality patterns towards "betterness," an undefined "somethingness"
that isn't a thing at all. Once defined, it is gone... poof. Like a
puffy white cloud in a clear blue summer sky... now it is here, now it
is not. Where does it come from, and where does it go? It is a
meaningless question. It is not a place at all. We are using
intellectual concepts to point to that which is beyond conception. How
can there be four when there isn't even one?
Ron:
I think of static patterns of value as a history of betterness.
A biography of the good. The memory of dynamic betterness.
I think when we think of DQ as a mover and SQ as the object moved
we kinda move toward an objective way of conceptualization again.
Then contemplating betterness is meaningless, a exercise
in relativism.
How do you conceptualize static Quality?

Dan:
I recall a discussion with Paul Turner along these lines that was
never really resolved, at least not in my mind. I am not sure it can
be.
>X:
> what does Quality mean to you?
Dan:
Quality is experience. There are many ways of ordering experience. So
far, the MOQ provides the clearest, most expansive answers to my way
of thinking. I like the way it is presented. Its sense of marrying the
mystic to the mundane appeals to me. The congruence of art, science,
and religion are made clear in a way I was not aware of before.
Ron:
Thats because, I think, that the awakening to betterness, is the awakening
of care.
