Hi Ham and all,
 
I am sorry, Ham, your Idealism is showing.  In your terminology the lack of
an existence that could accept a division like DQ/SQ makes communication
with you on a metaphysical level, a pouring from the empty into the void.
Existence is prior to reality. A judgment of Reality without existence is
idealism.  Realism is a further judgment about the reality of existence.
