Adrie,
I acknowledge that static patterns of value persist because they are useful.
But to remind you that as late as October 2005 RMP makes clear:
"The Metaphysics of Quality is NOT (emphasis mine) intended to be within any
philosophic tradition, although obviously it was not written in a vacuum. My
first awareness that it resembled James' work came from a magazine review long
after “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” was published. The
Metaphysics of Quality's central idea that the world is nothing but value is
not part of any philosophic tradition that I know of. I have proposed it
because it seems to me that when you look into it carefully it makes more sense
than all the other things the world is supposed to be composed of. One
particular strength lies in its applicability to quantum physics, where
substance has been dismissed but nothing except arcane mathematical formulae
has really replaced it."
