DM: See DQ by shutting out all SQ. A reality with no SQ seems like nothing.
Is DQ therefore death? But surely all SQ is created therefore there
must have been a time when there was only this nothing, only this DQ.
What is DQ? Surely the source of all SQ. Is that death? Perhaps, if
death is a return to the source of all SQ, i.e. DQ.
