[MD] Chaos Crystallised.

Dear Forum,
Recent exchanges between Ham and i lead me to think about what may be  
thought of as, 'MoQ cosmogony' some more.
I came to a conclusion: Chaos crystallised...
 
It is stated that Chaos is evolutionary prior to patterns of  static 
Inorganic quality:
'In the Metaphysics of Quality there's the morality called the "laws of  
nature," by which inorganic patterns triumph over chaos...' (Lila. ch. 13)
 
Question 1. 'Are Chaos and DQ the same thing'?
Answer: No.
 
'In a metaphysics in which static universal laws are considered  fundamental, 
the idea that life is evolving away from any law just draws a  baffled 
question mark. It doesn't make any sense. It seems to say that all life  is headed 
toward chaos, since chaos is the only alternative to structural  patterns that 
a law bound metaphysics can conceive. But Dynamic Quality is not  structured 
and yet it is not chaotic. It is value that cannot be contained by  static 
patterns. (Lila. ch. 11)
 
Question 2. If Chaos is not DQ and if Chaos is not structure, what is  it?
Answer: Unstructured relationships between sq simples.
The answer i wish to work with involves describing Chaos in terms of sq:  
Chaos is unstructured relationship between sq simples.
This allows further assertions:
a. sq simples are capable of becoming coherent. Coherence is a state  between 
sq simples which is excellent and opaque to DQ.
b. The opposite of Chaos is stasis.
c. Primary sq simples may be either: completely static, not even Chaotic!  or 
Aspects of Chaos itself.
(I favour the possibility that sq simples are aspects of Chaos; Chaos is  
noise; complete absence of unity: Chaos all the way down.)
d. There are no MoQ levels below Chaos.
While complete stasis may be the furthest away from DQ it may be  possible to 
get, complete stasis may be the waste product of  evolution?
The original state may be Chaos, and Chaos may  have more value than complete 
stasis.
 
Question 3. If Chaos was overcome in order for Inorganic patterns to  
establish themselves, was chaos a transition phase between pre-inorganic and  organic 
patterns, or is chaos pre-inorganic value itself?
Answer: Evidence for the transition view may be found in the  following:
'In the chaos of social patterns a wild new intellectual experimentation  
could now take place. Abstract art, discordant music, Freudian psychoanalysis,  
the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, contempt for alcoholic prohibition.  Literature  
emphasized the struggle of the noble, free-thinking individual against the  
crushing oppression of evil social conformity.' (Lila. ch. 22)
 
This quote seems to suggest that chaos is helpful for higher level  advance.
Chaos weakens relationships at a lower levels while the immediately higher  
level becomes more coherent.
 
But it may also be inferred that Chaos was, at an early phase of value  
evolution, a primary component of reality:
The inference may be drawn from the suggestion that coherence is  increasing; 
if we have evidence for an increase in coherence then it may be  inferred 
that chaos is that which is being left behind.

 
I considered how the MoQ explains how Inorganic patterns are used to create  
Biological patterns:
'Phædrus thought this ambiguity of carbon's bonding preferences was the  
situation the weak Dynamic subatomic forces needed. Carbon bonding was a  balanced 
mechanism they could take over. It was a vehicle they could steer to  all 
sorts of freedom by selecting first one bonding preference and then another  in 
an almost unlimited variety of ways.' (Lila. ch. 11)
 
Question 4: 'What would DQ use in order to overcome Chaos to create  
structured Inorganic patterns?'
Answer: A Self similar Harmonic.
A self similar harmonic would Crystallise Chaos at a saturation point or  
'sweet spot' within the chaotic relationships of sq patterns.
 
If chaos is unrelation, then it may be legitimate to conjecture  there is 
more than one variety of unrelation. Therefore, a  particular variety of 
unrelation may be more open to crystallisation  than all the others - and this may be 
what DQ used?

(Although this is pure conjecture it is based upon notions already found in  
MoQ literature.)
 
 
Far reaching consequence of the Chaos  Crystallised conjecture:
 
A. The original self similar harmonic may resonate throughout all levels of  
the MoQ?
It would therefore be no surprise when intellectual patterns such as  
mathematics and geometric modelling fit so well with inorganic behaviour.
It would therefore be no surprise that Music and art resonate so well  with 
mathematics.
 
B. This may provide an elegant explanation to the problem of keeping DQ  
undefined while explaining why harmony is so Dynamic: DQ created harmonics as a  
fundamental static aspect of Inorganic quality - i.e. the cosmos - Harmony  is 
always there as a fundamental aspect of reality, and yet not DQ. Therefore,  
harmonic relationships are capable of becoming ever more coherent (open to DQ)  
at higher levels.
 
C. Many have given me feedback concerning coherence and wanted to call it  
resonance or harmony.
Now it becomes possible to define resonance and harmony as sq components of  
coherence which open up to DQ.
In other words, the original self similar harmonic, while ultimately a  
fundamental aspect of inorganic reality, may also evolve at higher levels. At  
certain nodes more evolved harmonics still resonate with the fundamental.  Artists 
(that is to say all human creatives from musicians to mathematicians),  'Tune 
in' so to speak.
 
D. Thus Harmony and Resonance are not synonyms for DQ. This one  is 
effectively dealt with.
 
 
E. To Ian (psybertron) this may provide an answer to your warning that  
coherence must be distinguished from equilibrium?
Equilibrium may be seen as a settled state close to the fundamental  
harmonic, while coherence is a modification of the fundamental harmonic induced  by DQ.

 
F. It may even be conjectured that Dark matter and Dark energy are  harmonic 
nodes within the fundamental chaos that are outside observable  inorganic sq 
patterns.
 
MoQ cosmogony would then be a matter of Chaos as sq unrelation  becoming ever 
more coherent sq relationships.
This description leaves DQ undefined yet central to sq, because: 'Dynamic  
Quality is not structured and yet it is not chaotic.'
 
Thoughts?
