Considering the question:

"Does Lila have Quality?"

>From an ontological point of view people and things have properties. They 
have a nature that exists outside the mind, so Lila has Quality or she 
doesn't. From an epistemic point of view people and things have a nature 
that exists inside the mind. As people of the 21st century Western culture, 
we think, ane so again, Lila has Quality or she doesn't.

The MOQ tells us Quality has Lila. "Nothing dominates Quality." The MOQ 
offers a more expanded point of view, one that looks at ontological and 
epistemic points of view and states that they are both right... in a limited 
context. Ontologically, inorganic and biological patterns of value have a 
nature that exists physically. Epistemically, social and intellectual 
patterns of value have a nature that exists mentally.

Or so I think...

Any thoughts, anyone?
