I retract my surmise with surprise and apologise.

Could define a system that contains an element of freedom (Dynamic Quality)
that would not in be subjective? I think not. If you are correct then the
MoQ is fatally flawed. I do not think this is the case. Why did you choose
the terms "right" or "wrong"? These are prejoritive terms and I don't think
they are appropriate. Is a stone bridge "right" and a steel one "wrong"?
Is the Dali "right" and the Escher "wrong"? If this is true at the
inorganic level then it would follow that it would true at the other levels
too. As a software engineer by profession I understand that it is possible
to re-arrange the same instruction set in a countless number of ways and
still accomplish the same task. All of these ways are correct and none of
these ways are wrong. Do they look different? Yes. Some might have
advantages other others and from these you select the ones that best fits
your needs. Is the result a good solution to the problem? This is the real
question. We select the design that survives the tests of what we concieve
our needs to be. Survival of the fitess! If there is subjectivity in the
process (in software) it's usually because we have identified incorrect
needs.
