Hi Ron Yes I see what you mean. But what is it that makes these static patterns of value tend towards betterness? Why don't they tend the other way? The chemistry professor comes to mind... if left on a rock in the desert sunshine, the chemistry professor will dissolve into the chemicals of which it is composed. What makes the chemistry professor do the opposite? Why does it get better over time? In the MOQ, it is known as Dynamic Quality. Static patterns are all we know, all we can ever know. We can posit Dynamic Quality but we can never define it in a way that makes logical sense. But it is the driving force behind the evolutionary history we call experience, always new, always a surprise. Look for it and it can't be seen. And if you think you know, you don't.
