Qualities
Official Qualities are a product of:
1. Needs (biological, expectations/ dependency)
2. Identity (and thus the necessity for identity, if it is deviant�harm done vs. advantages
Harm done: if it demotes others, causes harm, makes people needy. Such an identity would be called unnecessarily or counterproductively deviant.
Advantages: if it distracts people from wrong doing/ keeps them out of trouble, if it promotes itself, if it fulfills needs of the individual or the wider society.
Moral Qualities are a product of:
1. Social and cultural obligations
2. Principles, as effected by Official Qualities.
In this way a poet who does not follow a poet�s morality must register his own variation, and be subject to any merited precautions. Tests could be performed to make sure everyone has a good match.
People who could take advantge of this system would have multiple talents, so it would encourage a richer, more flexible cultural body.
