Dan: Yes, that seems quite right. Static quality patterns are provisional in that they are representations of reality. And when we talk of Dynamic Quality, we point towards freedom from any static quality pattern: pre-intellectual awareness, direct experience.

Dan: Right. Rather than using subject and object as a first cut in his metaphysics, RMP uses Dynamic Quality and static quality. He carefully lays out his argument in the free will vs determinism section of LILA by equating static quality with determinism and Dynamic Quality with freedom from any static quality patterns. Dynamic Quality is the cutting edge of the moment, when we are completely free to experience "it" in all its freedom and newness. We then invariably intellectualize that newness and freedom away by replacing it with what we know, with what is familiar. And we call that reality. And it is. As it is the only reality we ever intellectually know. The MOQ is telling us that there is something better, though. And by confusing static quality with Dynamic Quality, we lose sight of what is better.
