Hi Platt

Yes, but he said that Dynamic Quality cannot be defined by what it is,
only by what it is not. It is like trying to define beauty, Is it in
the object? No, otherwise everyone would agree on what is beautiful.
Is it in the subject? No, otherwise no one would agree on what is
beautiful. Beauty lies beyond both subect and object, in that Dynamic
realm we might call the code of art. Don't you think so too?
