Hi David,
I would not consider what I provided as a definition.  In fact it is much less so than your definition of DQ as that which causes change.  Perhaps you can support such a contention (?).  I do not believe you can.  A bullet causes change, but it is far from DQ.  Patterns change completely when you are dead.

Perhaps you should consider your own definitions. Before commenting on what you think are another's definition.  I would not go so far as to say that dynamic quality creates change.  But that is how I read it.  I am providing a perspective, not a definition.  There is a big difference.

By the way, there are no patterns from the inside looking out, that would be impossible.  Think about it.

Cheers,

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,

In that light I dislike the definition of Dynamic Quality as 'the inside out' or 'creativity'.  I see these things as exactly that, two different static quality things and thus not Dynamic Quality.  That said, I would describe creativity as a direct result of and reaction to Dynamic Quality but of course not Dynamic Quality itself.

This comparison is itself a pattern like every other and is not a requirement for static patterns to exist.  To say that static patterns are relative is like saying they exist because any comparison creates a pattern.  All we can say about static patterns existing is that they do exist and are better than nothing. Right?

For instance there is a difference between the idea or truth of a tree and the 'treeness' that you experience.  Or to put it another way, there is a difference between the intellectual level 'truth' of a tree and the biological tree.

Static quality exists in stable patterns relative to other patterns.  Patterns exist relative to innumerable causes and conditions (patterns), relative to parts and the collection of parts (patterns), relative to conceptual designation (patterns). Patterns have no independent, inherent existence.  Further, these patterns pragmatically exist relative to an individual's static pattern of life history.
