[Platt]
In the deterministic world of science, chance is a measure of ignorance. When a
scientist doesn't know what causes a certain effect, like mind emerging from
mud, the effect is attributed to chance...

[Arlo]
How does "chance" differ from "Dynamic Quality"? It sounds to me, every time
you say this, that you posit "intent" to Dynamic Quality. True? If not, what
are the distinctions? 

Because I tell ya, aside from your allusions to DQ being an "intentional force"
(Qualigod), I don't see any distinction. And if DQ "makes" things happen, what
does that say about human agency? Or does DQ only deliberately order the
inorganic-biological levels?
