So Kevin, leaving theism / atheism aside for a moment, your claims
about Quality and the MoQ are more contentious ...

Quality undefined ? No not true, never fully defined by a
"definition". Defined by what we and the MoQ do with it.

MoQ undefined ? Definitely not true. Very well defined in terms of its
components and its structural relationships. Ant's summary in the
opening two paras on the Intro page of his site is as good a (static)
written definition as any.

The fact that "quality" as a key component is not axiomatically
defined should be no surprise. the root of every metaphysics has this
problem of recursive (first cause)definition, so far as I can tell.
