[MD] Stasis, Delcination or Improvement of Quality

[Bruce Underwood]

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply.  I accept the terms disorder to order as that is exactly as I see it. Further, this is my twist on "Quality reversing a theory of thermodynamics" as discussed in Chpt 11 of Lila.  I would like to review what has been discussed in terms of Quality reversing a theory of thermodynamics. THis is the area in my opinion that opens the door for the understanding of other dimensions and dynamics.

You stated,"Perhaps Quality is always constant, that is for every increase in Quality there is an equal decrease."    I am not sure that it is always equal and perhaps the "zig-zag fashion" is a good way of stating it, but I see that in everything there is a need for "balance".  IMO, balance = peace, nature abhors a void and where there is an increase in one area there is avoid in another area that must be fiiled in order for there to be balance. However,systems can survice even when they are out of balance.  That said, it will only continue until the system is so severely out of balance that it fails or it finds a way to regain balance.  Another twist is that perhaps Dynamic Quality is that which keeps it spinning and that which throws a little weight on one side or another.

I see the MoQ levels as multidimensional rather than linear and each is attempting to maintain balance within themselves as well as among the other levels. One level affects the balance within itself, but also affects the balance within the other level.

The example of Haiti has been used recently, but I will use it here to look at balance. From an inorganic level perspective, beneath the tectonic plates, so much pressure has increased that the plates shift in order to balance some of the pressure that is being exerted beneath the plates. From the perspective of the Social level and biological level, social order is disrupted, basic housing is destroyed, water and sanitary systems are destroyed. Many of the social systems that have increased and sustain the quailty for biological life have been destroyed and are now out of balance. As biological needs increase, underlying biological level systems take over and, in many cases, override upper social and intellectual level systems.  Stealing and killing for food and water demonstrate raw biological patterns that outway social and intellectual level patterns.  Yet from the social level, new social groups begin to form to protect each other and call for help from the outside social groups. Help and aide demonstrate social and intellectual ratchet points attempting to regain control and balance.

IMO, if viewed only from the standpoint of life, it is easy to see that energy consumption is necessary. Life must consume in order to survive. Life to remain static consumes energy.  To improve, life consumes energy, but destruction may also be required. An example, to become stronger muscles are broken down, but in stasis they atrophy. Life in death first requires less energy and then is consumed by bacteria and other systems until all that is left are inorganic materials and mineral. Then the minerals break down.

I appreciate your response! I believe there are many ways to understand Quality and will try to adjust my wording to make things as consistant as possible.  I take me awhile to wrap my head around ideas.  I often create art or charts to broaden my perspective.

Thanks again,

Bruce
