[MD] Metaphysical issues: DQ

[Platt Holden]

Chris:

Does your understanding of DQ agree with the following?

"By contrast the Metaphysics of Quality, also going back to square one, 
says that man is composed of static levels of patterns of evolution with a 
capability of response to Dynamic Quality." (Lila, 24)
