Hi Marsha

I guess I don't see where you're going with this. Water isn't distinct from
ice. Water IS ice. It is simply in a solid state rather than a liquid.
Inorganic patterns like water change structure according to the ambient
surroundings. Think iron: its melting point is much higher than water. But
it is still iron in either state.

On the other hand, static quality is distinct from Dynamic Quality by
definition. Static quality emerges from Dynamic Quality. To say 'the
fundamental nature of static quality is Dynamic Quality' seems confusing
rather than enlightening, in my opinion. Isn't the fundamental nature of
static quality its definition?
