Yes, at one time cells and quantum particles responded to DQ towards
betterness, resulting in evolution up to the social level. I see no
evidence that they are playing any part in evolution now.

The inorganic and biological levels are now static moral levels as part
of the universal moral order. They respond to the present moment
(Quality) instinctively and predictably. Their responses are thus
static moral patterns. That's why the hard sciences have been so
successful. The social and intellectual levels are still evolving, led
by individuals at the intellectual level responding to DQ. That's why
the soft sciences (economics, social studies, history) have been so
contentious.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks.
