Hi Dan
Well described, not too short and not too long, and the message is clear
to me. But is it a good chair?
I think that the goodness (Quality) of the chair and every single part
of it, is depending on a balance between it's amount of ingredients
(mass, energy), between its form (pattern) and between the functional
(pragmatic) value of every single piece of the chair to the next piece.
Flat chair, no good

Hi Marsha
Take a chair as an example... lets make it the chair I'm sitting in
now. I am sure everyone here has seen such a chair. It is defined as
an office chair. It has an elongated back, plastic arms, and rolls
around (should I find the need) on little plastic rollers. It is
covered with some kind of cloth, perhaps synthetic though I am not
sure. It is comfortable and useful. It is disrete from everything else
that is around it... the table my computer rests upon, the computer I
am writing on, and the rest of the world.
It is important to remember though that within the framework of the
MOQ, the chair is a static pattern of value, not an object. The chair
is not just a comglomeration of plastic, metal, and cloth. Someone
intellectually thought of the chair and someone else manufactured it.
Still someone else sold the chair. The chair is a discrete part of the
inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual value that makes up
the world yet it is in no way independent of the world.
Does that make sense?
Thank you,
Dan
