David to Andre:
Right. But how can you even talk of DQ without referring to it? You
can't do it.
Andre:
Well David, of course you can talk of DQ by referring to it but that does not mean you are defining it in any way, shape or form. I refer you to Anthony's and dmb's response.
David:
From the perspective of sq, even the words Dynamic Quality are a sort of definition.
Andre:
I have just looked up 'word' is my (Oxford) dictionary. It suggests nine different meanings, none of which says that a word (automatically) defines something.
I get what you are hinting at though David. It's the same thing Phaedrus grappled with in LILA:
"By even using the term 'Quality' he had already violated the nothingness of mystic reality. The use of the term 'Quality' sets up a pile of questions of its own that have nothing to do with mystic reality and walks away leaving them unanswered. Even the name, 'Quality' was a kind of definition since it tended to associate mystic reality with certain fixed and limited understandings". (LILA pp110-1)
My suggestion is that Dynamic Quality, as a MOQ referring term, is indeed intended to leaving 'a pile of questions of its own' UNANSWERED and to DISSOCIATE it from 'certain fixed and limited understandings'. I think, and agree with Anthony here, that both ZMM and LILA are treating DQ in that way. That is DQ/sq.
