[MD] Wanted: A proper foundation

Essence.
Sounds like philosophical "string theory."

"There is only Essence and
 its differentiated modality (appearances)." 

Sometimes the place you sit in the stadium
makes the whole experience different.

We can argue about where the water came 
from, but does that change the effective use?

thanks--mel

Nothing teleological about the MOQ. It postulates a dynamic flight 
AWAY from stability, thus the levels are not "planned" in 
beforehand, but the necessary outcome of the escape from the 
previous level.
