Ham,

I do understand what materialism implies.  And I do understand what RMP has 
written in the quote, "The MOQ is not opposed to materialism as long is it 
is understood that materialism is a set of ideas."  Here's a Copleston quote 
that the MOQ agrees with that pulls things into perspective, "Science is 
simply one level of knowledge, one aspect of the complete knowledge to which 
the mind tends, even if it cannot fully actualize its ideal.  Metaphysical 
philosophy endeavors to complete the synthesis."

Quality is the fundamental.  Words, ideas, patterns, qualities, metaphors, 
definitions, and analogs are static quality.

I do not see a problem.
