Hi DMB and All, MOQ DQ/SQ.
Hi David and All, I guess the question to be asked is: Is MOQ metaphysics or reality? With a DQ/SQ base Quality apparently does not apply to reality in existence as a metaphysics. "The central reality of mysticism, the reality that Phaedrus had called 'Quality' in his first book, is not a metaphysical chess piece." I guess he is proposing a knowledge beyond metaphysics of DQ/SQ. I don't think he gave that study a name, so I seemed to misunderstand the relationship between DQ/SQ, metaphysics, and physics? How do you break it down?
