Mark,
sorry,
turtles all the way is not a logical fallacy. It's just a computational
problem akin to being stuck to an endless loop, which repeats the same
procedure over and over again. But maybe if static quality is a
recursive structure, it isn't exactly a "qualities all the way down"
argument but instead some kind of a recursive system. I am a system
builder and do not speak of Dynamic Quality because it cannot be put in
a system. I do this because I know DQ, not because I wouldn't know it.
But such knowledge does not belong to a system and cannot be expressed
with logical language. Many people are artists and poets but few are
taking a systematic approach to the MOQ. The closest I will go to DQ so
far is to give a formal definition of undefinability. But I can't do
that yet. I'll do it later.
I mean, even though everything a computer processor can do is a tick, it
doesn't mean the sequence of ticks is a "qualities all the way down"
argument, because the repetition of ticks is not meaningless. The ticks
do not perform the exact same function. Maybe that's what you meant with
"qualities all the way down" instead of "quality all the way down", but
then, what are the different qualities?
