Dan: I am not sure what you're getting at. Is this a typo, perhaps? Yes, free will is a static pattern of value. But so is everything. Every "thing" that is, except Dynamic Quality. Static patterns of quality determine our lives. Dynamic Quality makes our lives better. > >Marsha: > But there is also this: > > "In a subject-object classification of the world, Quality is in the same > situation as that platypus.

But what exactly are you getting at? I don't see any commentary.
