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.
Platt
