[MD] DQ/SQ is SOM

[118]

Hi John,
It seems you are using the term Quality in the same manner that Darwin used
the term Nature.  By this model, the levels are species, and the concept of
Natural Selection becomes DQ.  So I can see why you propose that levels in
existence are selected for by Quality.  As such, the Quality you speak of
is based on the current trend known as Evolution.  I don't have a problem
with this, except that it is rather limiting Quality, to the laws of
Evolution.  Perhaps you have some ways in which MoQ differs from the
standard evolutionary model used in biology.

Let me say, that you are not the only one who finds this evolutionary model
a good description of Quality.  There have been many others presented
throughout the ages of course.  We are all describing the same thing.  Some
descriptions are more compelling than others.  Since we live in the age of
science, the evolutionary model is perhaps right for its time.  Until one
digs deep into it, of course.  Then it makes no sense.

If Quality is indeed presented through evolution, then is it not balanced
in the same way Nature is?

I would not confuse balance for stasis.  The Yin and Yang are far from
static.  In fact it is the continual imbalance which can be said to be
existence; that is, a dynamic balancing act.  In fact, one could say that
existence is the ever present tendency towards balance.  Just read the Tao
Te Ching, Chapter 2.  Remember the similarity between Quality and Tao?

Cheers,
Mark
