[MD] The percolating SOL

[John Carl]

What is the cause of value is not a stupid question.  Admittedly, its hard
enough for philosophers to discuss undefined concepts - much less
undefinable ones, so you'll get resistance.  I've been begging for months to
understand whether Quality is an axes or a direction - and so far only Platt
and DMB have responded and they contradicted each other.
My thinking on the subject shifted recently with the idea that while Quality
may be undefinable in words, it is definable in actual experience.  As the
primary metaphysical reality of the world, it is always being experienced
and  what we communicate or express of that experience is our ongoing and
dynamic definition - the narrative of intellect engaged in a cosmos.

So, it is valid to question the cause of the Value that resides in my own
brain.  "What is the cause of Value?"  is really about the subjective
experience of the quality event of the individual.

Now, if Platt is right, then the Value=Quality=Good that we are
conceptualizing is an actual empirical reality of the world we live in and
it is a POSITIVE force.  A literal Good.  Good is a noun.  The actual
construction of the world as a totality - a cosmos - is dependent upon

But then, any question about the good is a good question.  he-he.  So...
sorry for calling you a low-level subroutine, Ham.

You are often a very high level subroutine.

But not always.
