Hi Matt and all,
 
Imho DQ is the answer to questions good and bad. Your appeal to evolution in
the answer for ³bothŠ..² is intriguing.   I don¹t know how you view
evolution.  For myself for evolution I use the musical octave as a template
with small intervals in two places mi-fa and ti-do.
 
Evolution is levels in existence.  I like the musical octave as a template
for evolution in existence. I consider ti_do to be impassable, so there is
not an infinite explanation just a template.  Emotions as undefined crosses
mi-fa and it seems MOQ DQ/SQ is a useful explanation for continuing beyond
matter-organic into consciousness.  There is a limit to human consciousness
and evolution is not unbounded.  DQ answers questions.  DQ/SQ a fine
metaphysics.
