[MD] Primer

[gav]

useful thoughts as usual arlo.

ant's thesis was a thesis and as such is suited to the
academically oriented.
ant's textbook is probably a bit better for the
layman. especially as it has more good stuff in it.

a primer, to me, sounds like something very much to
the point. something that establishes common ground
rather than trying to cover as much territory as
possible. something that is relatively easy to grasp
without making a caricature out of the MOQ. something
profound but not pretentious; precise but not anal;
and a blend of theory and application.

okay so here's my architectural idea:
**3 parts:**

1. quality is the fundamental 'stuff' of the universe.

 the highest most correct level. monistic, mystical.
quality =immediate pre-intellectual experience
experience produces subjects and objects; rather than
subjects experiencing objects.

2. Quality's first division: DQ/sq: the absolute and
the relative; the unmanifest and the manifest.

the next highest level. less correct or fundamental
than 1. but more correct than 3.
the code of art. the interdependence of the dynamic
and the static. the reason why quality means different
things to different people.

3. Static Quality divided into intellectual, social,
biological, inorganic static patterns.

the evolutionary relationship between the discrete
levels and the moral codes and conflicts their
interplay produces.

these are the three different levels of the MOQ as far
as i can tell; i believe a lot of our confusion comes
from mixing these levels up. for instance the primary
level - quality = pre-intellectual undivided exp - is
still causing trouble becasue folk don't get it or
don't get that it IS primary.
