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? > > > "Water is distinct from ice, but in the ice cube it is present: not as a > fly might be trapped there, but _in the very ice_.
