Looks good to me. Nothing here I wouldn't agree with today as I did many moons
ago.

>    1. Quality.  Quality is reality. Quality is the ethical principle of the 
> good. Thus reality is a moral order. Quality, like reality, is known to us 
> as awareness. As such, it is impossible to define.
> 
>    2. Morality. Morality is a synonym for Quality. Thus reality is a moral 
> order. A phenomenon is considered moral, or high Quality, to the extent that 
> it advances freedom.
> 
>    3. Value. Value is a synonym for Quality. Value encompasses what are 
> usually known as causation and substance. Value is understood through the 
> sense of value.
> 
>    4. Dynamic Quality and static quality. There are many ways to divide 
> Quality but the best way is into patterns of Dynamic and static value or 
> experience. Dynamic Quality is pure experience; static quality is filtered 
> experience. Dynamic Quality creates the world; static quality preserves it. 
> Dynamic Quality is more aesthetic than static quality. Neither Dynamic nor 
> static quality can survive without the other.
> 
>    5. Static levels. Quality became manifest in our world by an evolutionary 
> sequence of Dynamic Quality Events. Left in the wake of these events were 
> four static levels of evolution -- inorganic, biological, social and 
> intellectual. Each level is a static pattern of Quality, organized and 
> governed by its own moral laws -- the laws of physics, biology, culture and 
> reason respectively.
> 
>    6. Static awareness. Each higher level evolved from the lower level but 
> has become a discrete level. From the point of view of any level it is only 
> possible to evaluate phenomena at that level.
> 
>    7. Static dominance. Because each lower level is unable to evaluate the 
> other levels, it considers itself to be the most moral and strives to 
> dominate the others.
> 
>    8. Static morality. The levels at a higher stage of evolution are more 
> moral than levels below. Intellectual patterns take moral precedence over 
> social patterns, social patterns over biological and biological patterns 
> over inorganic.
> 
>    9. Dependency. Higher qualities depend on lower qualities for survival. 
> Thus a higher quality can only dominate a lower one in so far as it does not 
> endanger its stability.
> 
>   10. Evolution. The universe is evolving away from low quality and towards 
> high quality.
> 
>   11. Truth.Truth is an intellectual value pattern. There is no single 
> truth, only high quality and low quality truths.
> 
>   12. Self. The self is undivided Quality, encompassing both Dynamic and 
> static patterns. As with Quality, the self is both one and many.
