<When we experience qualities are these a form of memory?
   
  the phenomena of consciousness is a composition itself, a parallel process (or sufficiently distributed equivalent) of dynamic process and static process. some of our perceptions are dynamic, as they must be, to correlate with the phenomena they encode, others are static (those from which we do not benifit by being aware of) . also, our conceptions may be dynamic, as when you are pondering, secondguessing, or making some decision. yet, may our conceptions also be static, as in beliefs, dispositions, and the things we suppose as knowledge or axiom (i.e. one's name, one's opinion toward's genocide...). in this sense, when we experience quality, it is with regard to many static and dynamic processes that we do so.
so maybe we ask, is memory a static or dynamic pattern? 
both? 
  would this help if we could say?
 or does the real question become,
is memory a prerequisite for quality?

  quite so!
quality would be able to affect one's actions, without necessarily having to be remembered, as when one is driving, and staying on the road without consciously thinking about doing so. you realize, in this instance, you have no memory of this process, which you have been continuously controling. we may then see that perhaps non-memory processes are sufficient enough to perceive and interact with quality on certain levels, allowing us to distinguish and maintain acceptable quality/circumstances.
    i ask,
  is this the same across all levels??????
   
  - when one uses pure intuition, 'a zen mind', is one not distinguishing quality with no preconceived notions, by no memory, and simply by the process of instantaneous reaction to stimuli/perception? one may argue that the act of perception inavoidably suggests memory, that of a rendered abstraction of reference. yet, is there no difference between the cognitive representations of immediate perception and the re-representations of recollection?
