     [David H.]
Cohere - 'to be united'

----------
     What is united?  Do you mean undifferentiated or
differentiated or something else?  As I understand
coherence in the essay, coherence is when all the
levels come together in a perfect harmony and no
differentiation/no levels occur, just static quality
showing undifferentiation/dq.


     [David H.]
To me this is broken into two questions.
Q: Is static quality on as equal a metaphysical
footing as Dynamic  
Quality?
A: No, Dynamic Quality is fundamental.
and
Q: Does static quality 'work', with Dynamic Quality?
A: Yes.  While Dynamic Quality is fundamental, static
quality is  
still an unavoidable, necessary part of life to the
degree that any  
description of life is sq.

------
     Dynamic quality is undifferentiated.  Static
quality is dynamic quality differentiated.  Sure
static quality can cohere, and may show itself as
undifferentiation.  Dynamic quality is fundamental,
but since I see static quality as undifferentiation -
differentiated, then what does "equal footing" clarify
or signify?  Or does equal footing mean static
quality, when cohered, is dynamic quality, which I
agree.

     [David H. responded]
sq does not cohere(is on equal footing) with DQ.

------
     See this is where above cohere means "to be
united", yet, you say here not cohere = is on equal
footing.  Not sure what you mean?

     [David H.]
But still, sq does cohere(work) with DQ.

-------
     Yes, I agree.  Sq does work with dq.  They are
the same.  They are quality.  One is just
undifferentiated and the other is differentiated.  Sq
is dynamic quality differentiated.  What is
differentiated now is all we (or I)
intellectualize/perceive dynamic quality is.  Could dq
be anything else we (or I) don't sq now/differentiate
now?  I don't know.  I could not possibly conceive or
conceptualize dynamic quality to know what dynamic
quality is.  


     [SA previously]
>   What would sq latch upon?  Sq
> can't identify anything upon dq to latch.

     [David H.]
sq is a latch itself.  It needs no mechanism.  It does
it all by  
itself, this is what it is.  A 'latch' latches upon
DQ.  We take the ever changing, always new,
mysterious, fundamental nature of the world and define
it.  Whether this is moral or not, picking up bar
ladies and writing metaphysics are a part of life. 
The MOQ says, we can't help but do it, so let's do the
best we can.

------
     How can sq latch nothing?  Sure we define dq, by
using static patterns.  Dq is still not defined.

     [David H.]
Yes, however this doesn't change the fact that some
analogies are  
better than others.

--------
     Sure some analogies are better than others.  I
can't latch upon dq.  Dq is no-I.  Dq is no-latch.  Dq
is nothing.  Dq is the no-self, the no-ego, the
no-fixation.  Dq doesn't attach to anything.  Dq is
mu.


     [David H.]
Limit sq?  What is wrong with saying that one thing,
out of all  
available options, is the best?

-------
     How can dq be the best?  Dq is nothing.


     [David H.]
Static quality by its very nature is limiting.

-------
     And/or unlimited just by defining it to be such. 
For sq to have no-limit, no-ego, no-self, is to allow
sq be creative and be an open system, not closed and
dead.


     [David H.]
Fundamentally, the world is not like this.  It's not
this fixed thing, with fixed boundaries.

-------
     Exactly.


     [David H.]
But we're alive and can't help but define. So I define
as best I can.

-------
     Sure, I define as best I can.  This world is not
limited by any particular self.  By no-self this is
possible.
