You are asking me how "Dynamic Quality" does something?  I can only 
answer that I do not know.  I offered the above as a RMP quote 
concerning the subject of time.  For me time is a static pattern of 
value.  Does the universe care today from a year ago?  No.

No.

The self is a thought-flow of ever-changing, interrelated and 
interconnected, inorganic, biological, social and intellectual, 
static patterns of value responding to Dynamic Quality.
