[MarshaV]

Mark,

By the way, the definition of self that I present includes both static quality and Dynamic Quality.  Are you proposing to convince me of something else besides Quality(Dynamic/static)?  I would like you to explain what that might be.  But, of course, you can confess that you do not know...

I understand we all might find different aspects of the MoQ important, and may approach that interest from different points-of-view.  Broadly, I tend to want to consider a pattern from a position of its opposite.  That allows for the widest range of possibilities for individual instances and the most dynamic point-of-view.  But that's just my opinion.  Bottomline, for me, is that Reality = Experience(patterned experience/unpatterned experience).   I think to categorize patterns into the four-level, evolutionary, hierarchical structure:  inorganic, biological, social and intellectual is brilliant, rational, modern, and suggests a way to bridge Western science with Eastern wisdom.  But this is only my own perspective.
