I got it from this LC annotation:
RMP:
Dynamic Quality is defined constantly by everyone. Consciousness can
be described is a
process of defining Dynamic Quality. But once the definitions emerge
they are static
patterns and no longer apply to Dynamic Quality. So one can say
correctly that Dynamic
Quality is both infinitely definable and undefinable because
definition never exhausts it.
