Hi Joe,
I like what you posted.  I am not sure if evolution is the best paradigm, but that is just me.  There is an arrow from DQ to SQ.  While we can say they are levels, I'm not sure that is instructive.  

Metaphysics can use physics for its presentation.  SQ is as undefinable as DQ.  It is a creation of ours.  One can envision a metaphysics of DQ, but I prefer a metaphysics of Quality.  Such is a discipline of describing Quality.  Quality is a viewpoint for creating answers.  It is a window with a view, or a door to a trail.  When we go on an expedition, we carry with us certain tools.  Those tools present what we find (create).  

With the tools of evolution we find certain things, but there is much more to create than that which results from evolution.  Evolution is a paradigm that can be insufficient.  Releasing oneself from the boundaries of evolution can be fruitful.

All the best,


Mark
