[MD] Posting in Dynamic Quality Format: The Unity of Quality

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Mark and All,

"Quality" as a word does not have a singular usage!  In SOM "Quality" is an
adjective.  In MOQ "Quality" is a noun metaphysically described as
indefinable and definable DQ/SQ.  It gets confusing.  How to conceptualize
"Quality"?  

The metaphysical changes in Quality suggest that I abandon formal logic in
metaphysical descriptions!  What do I use instead of logic to discover
truth?  I suggest Emotions!  DQ indefinable emotions!  SQ definable
intellect.  My reality is logical again.  Are there levels in existence in
the evolution of levels in Quality.  Evolution describes levels in
existence.  A stone exists differently than a lamb!
