[MD] Quantum computing

[Case]

Hmm, you will have to do better than that to convince me. Show me a water
proof contradiction within the MoQs levels and I'll think about it. Don't
hold your breath though, I'm pretty stubborn about them. :)

[Case]
Without trying to start a big to do about them the problem with the levels
occurs at the edges. They tend to be arbitrary abstractions. Organic
chemistry is relegated to the inorganic level. Social structures among other
species are confined to the biological level. The social and intellectual
levels are confused in ways that cause nothing but headaches. And for what?

Almost, my take on "life" is something walking an evolutionary path. And
that requires the right balance of static and dynamic. It must be static
enough to last, but at the same time dynamic enough to last. But if course,
a certain amount of complexity is also required, but I don't think it's
enough.

[Case]
I have mentioned several times that Pirsig's use of the term Quality for
"Tao" draws attention away from the Taoist vision of The Way. But you also
raise a perennial problem I have with static and dynamic. You seem to be
using the terms in a sensible way, that is stasis and change. Am I
misreading you? Evolution is all about stability and change. Complexity is
about the quality and quantity of change.
