But to the extent that one follows Dynamic Quality, which is 
undefinable, one's behavior is free.

[Arlo]
You've stated before that "only man responds to Dynamic Quality". 
Does this mean that man's behavior is the only thing in the universe 
that is not deterministic?

If not, since you've said a cat cannot respond to Dynamic Quality, 
how is his behavior "free"? Or is your cat governed strictly by 
deterministic laws?

Or are you going to say now, and agree with me, that your cat can 
indeed respond to DQ (making it "free" from deterministic laws, 
albeit "less free" than man whose respond to DQ includes social and 
intellectual level affordances)?

So which is it? Is your cat's behavior "free"? If so, is it because 
it can "follow Dynamic Quality"? And if not, how else can it be "free"?
