Marsha:
My static term for 'Dynamic Quality' is unpatterned. Unpatterned, as in not divisible, not definable, not knowable, without boundaries, 'not this, not that'. Unpatterned, as in no-thing, or pattern, to change. Dmb's statement "DQ, or reality itself is ever-changing. That's what 'dynamic' means" is contrary to RMP saying that 'change' "is probably the first concept emerging from this Dynamic experience..."
Your feedback doesn't match my experience. It is not a workable explanation.
