Andre, In one comment I was addressing Mark about my definition of Dynamic Quality and static patterns of Value. And I might remind you the in the MoQ textbook it states that DQ is the fundamental nature of static quality. And this is from a section on Nagarjuna and the MMK. Maybe you have a different interpretation; that's your problem. RMP correlates the static quality with the Buddhist's Śunyavada (maya, the conditioned), and Dynamic Quality with Sunyata (emptiness, the indeterminate). - if you would like to interpret things differently, be my guest.
From the other post, my statement about language and static patterns being "kind of a prison," I did clarify to Dan with the word 'constraint.' Whether you agree with my statement or not is of little consequence, but you changed the tenor of my statements. In the different posts I was speaking from different truths, my separate two truths. If that is too much for you to handle, too bad. I stand by my statements as written. If you cannot tolerate different opinions, too bad. I'm here to explore the MoQ, and not to have a simpleton tell me in Cliff note simplicity, with "milk and cookie" colloquialisms what to think. You should stick with dmb's posts.
