Hi All, We are constantly bringing in analogies from modern physics to help become aware of Quality. The divide between SQ and DQ is not unusual in many metaphysics, and could be equated to the mind/body dichotomy. The division is of course artificial, but has meaning.
In the 1970s, on the edges between physics and metaphysics, the Standard Model was developed. It was an attempt to consolidate all the particles that were being discovered into leptons and quarks, and their interaction, if I remember correctly. So, what was proposed were particles and forces as the two main aspects of reality (at that level). Of course gravitation had to be left out... Here is the analogy for those who are interested (which I'm sure is not new for this forum, but an interesting thread for some of us): SQ = particles DQ = forces Now, the forces were postulated to arise through particle exchange. By extending the analogy, SQ is interacting with SQ through a dynamic exchange of SQ, which we can call DQ. DQ does not then really exist, but is an active process of SQ. That is why it is dynamic and not definable on its own. Of course why does SQ (or particles) exist is the question. A dude named Higgs came up with a Higgs Field. I believe we are still trying to "prove" it (Bosons and all that), and as such it is a product of the mind at inception still, waiting to be expanded though our creativity, and hooked to an observation. We could postulate that DQ can be analogized to this kind of field idea in physics. Now, I only have a layman's understanding of physics which is quite rusty since I haven't studied it in an academic setting for 20 years, however, it is always instructive and interesting to see what the human mind develops. It all springs from someplace much deeper than what we call the intellect, and drawing parallels with things such as physics, art, philosophy, architecture, politics, always provides insight to the meaning of all :-). Of course Buddhists have been teaching this kind of thing for some time now.
