[MD] self: agent of action & thinker of thoughts

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi MarshaV and all,

In a DQ/SQ metaphysics the definition for common words changes.  I do not
know what language will look like when MOQ is fully accepted.  For example
the word "Essence" cannot mean Objective reality.  In my own mind I use my
first name "Joe", as DQ in me which is indefinable yet stays the same like
"essence".  For "person" I substitute the word "Maurer" for the description
of a continuous base of my identify SQ which can be modified by DQ.  Clumsy!

Joe
