Yes, stories are a lot of fun, and revealing too.
 
As many will say (J. Campell, for example), myths are metaphors for
something fundamental (Quality) being revealed in human experience.  The
trouble is that trying to categorize that something, immediately creates a
system of understanding that leaves everything out.
 
Metaphors are useful.  If Quality were the ocean, then SQ are the waves, and
DQ would be the currents, or the waves ever appearing and disappearing.
What do you think?

Hi Markhsmit and all,

[Joe]
Does DQ have the same relationship to SQ that currents have to waves?  To
evolution?  There is certainly some relationship.  Using the metaphor of the
ocean for quality would work on water world, but then what is dry land in
relationship to DQ as static and fluid are in opposition?  Which metaphor is
closer to DQ, an undefined aspect of evolution?  I guess the changes caused
by earthquakes would also be a metaphor for DQ in an ocean or landmass.
