Hi Ian It's the way Steve framed the statement that suggests we cannot follow both static quality and Dynamic Quality at the same time.

It is entirely possible that I read it wrong, however. >Ian: > I don't in fact agree with Steve's underlying analogy between DQ/sq > and Free-Will / Determinism, or DMB's suggestion that causation is > part of one but not the other, .... causation is just weird and > conventional linguistically ....

If we don't have [the church of] reason, what do we have?
