DQ is a moral force, NOT mathematical variables and operations. You should
know this. 

"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of realty, the source of all
things, completely simple and always new. It was the moral force that had motivated
the brujo in Zuni. It contains no pattern of fixed rewards and punishments. Its only
perceived good is freedom and its only perceived evil is static quality itself—any
pattern of one-sided fixed values that tries to contain and kill the ongoing free
force of life." (Lila, 9)

When science identifies a moral source, do let us know.
