[MD] Science and the MOQ

[ian glendinning]

SA, Krim, now there's an example of a valuable constructive exchange ...

I absolutely agree too with the "a set of levels" as a heuristic suggestion.
My onion-skins comment many times before .... whatever levels you
break this ontology down into, you will always find more layers within
these layers. (My alternative expression is "everything comes in three
layers, even layers".)

None of the layers are fundamental. But what is "fundamental" about
them is that the vertical axis is evolutionary time, and the
ontological medium is quality - dynamic processes and static patterns.
