[MD] Dreaming and death

[ian glendinning]

Hey Squonk, (Jos mentioned) how could I overlook that ... your
original clarification  ..

Not all SQ / SPV's are created equal. Not only are some higher quality
than others some are more inherently static than others - how static
they are is one aspect of their quality in fact.

Brilliant idea. Don't recall anyone making that point before.

And it links well with Jos' recent summary about "existence" as SQ's.
Totally dynamic (ballistic) quality doesn't "exist" in "real" life. It
needs to touch down and form a "species" however short-lived .... not
sure where I'm going with this ....
