[MD] The Dynamics of Value

[david buchanan]

Ham said to Mark:
Where is the Quality when you're not pointing?  Nowhere. What happens to Quality when there is nothing to point to, or when there is no one to point?  It disappears.  Quality exists only as a comparative evaluation by a sensible agent.  In short, it's a "comparative" interpretation of relational experience.
dmb says:
Excuse me for butting in.
The notion that quality is subjective, the evaluative judgement of a sensible subject, is not consistent with the MOQ. Instead, every part of reality behaves and acts on the basis of Quality. In that sense, atoms, stars, fishes and dogs are agents pointing to Quality. As James says, "everything gets known by some knower". We're talking about a reality that is entirely noetic, but it is not a single unified consciousness like Hegel's God but rather it is pluralistic, layered, "irreducibly many", "strung along and overlapped". Everything gets known by some knower. It's Quality all the way down. 
If you're interested.
