Definition of VQR
VQR stands for 'Viable Quality of Reality'. VQR refers to any Quality of Reality that may form a life-giving condition for life-in-general to emerge, to function, to survive or to reproduce.
If a particular characteristic of reality could potentially lead to any form of life, then this characteristic is labeled 'Viable Quality of Reality' in this book about WCG Docrtrine.
Starting Point
There are 2 starting points:
a) Endogenous: (parts of) Reality itself can become Life. "Endogenous" refers to intrinsic properties of reality that turn into life.
b) Exogenous: (parts of) Reality contain or form conditions that increase the likelihood of Life arising. "Exogenous" therefore refers to environmental conditions.
Item a) is based on internal properties, or intrinsic conditions, or endogenous factors that lead to the forming of life, or maintainability of organisms.
Item b) is based on external properties, or extrinsic conditions, or exogenous factors that lead to the emergence of life or help support living entities.
VQR Theory
The VQR-theory tries to reveal and define which properties of Reality have eventually led to the the emergence of Life, or led to the subsequent maintainability of living entities. This theory asks itself questions and seeks tangible answers, such as:
Which properties of the universe have led to viability of existence?
Which conditions are minimally necessary for life to emerge in reality?
Which possibilities does reality have in order to form life?
Which qualities of reality support the maintainability of life processes?
Intrinsic / Extrinsic Quality
The concept of Viable Quality of Reality (VQR) has various dimensions, such as Intrinsic Viable Quality of Reality (IVQR), Extrinsic Viable Quality of Reality (EVQR), and others. Together they constitute a framework for understanding the fundamental aspects of existence regarding viability and maintainability of Life.
IVQR may be shortened to IVQ (Intrinsic Viable Quality).
EVQR may be shortened to EVQ (Extrinsic Viable Quality).
VQR encompasses the overall viability of reality, while IVQ pertains to the inherent, sustainable qualities within a system that leads to life.
IVQ focuses on internal, endogenous factors, whereas EVQ considers external, exogenous influences and context.
Dimensions of Framework
Within this framework you may also discern:
VEQR: Viable Energetic Quality of Reality addresses the energetic aspects, that eventually may lead to living entities, or sustaining its existence.
VMQR: Viable Material Quality of Reality concerns material and mass properties, eventually leading to living organisms, or sustaining its existence.
VS/TQR: Viable Space/Time Quality of Reality deals with spatial and temporal dynamics, including movement and gravity.
VIQR: Viable Informational Quality of Reality explores the informational dimensions crucial to reality, encompassing aspects of information exchange and the emergence or sustenance of life.
All these dimensions of VQR not only describe the necessary conditions for the emergence of life, but also the necessary conditions to keep living organisms alive.
Duality Dimensions
The framework also elucidates duality dimensions such as Intrinsic-Extrinsic, Energy-Matter, Space-Time, and Information-Transmission, some characterized by common factors like location, dynamics, gravity, data ordering & propagation, and self-creation.
A pivotal concept within this framework is VQR, defined as the quality of reality conducive to the emergence and sustainability of life. It also encapsulates the essential conditions and qualities that enable life forms to thrive within their environments.
If the emphasis is on the support of life (sustainability/maintainability), one can use the abbreviation LSQR = Life-Sustaining Quality of Reality.
Negentropy
An essential underlying force for obtaining the criterion of 'Viable Quality of Reality' is Negentropy (negative entropy).
Negentropy opposes the Second Law of Thermodynamics (see: tag-Entropy).
Examples of Negentropy in relation to VQR:
🌱 Living organisms maintaining order (like cell structures).
🌞 The Earth absorbing sunlight to power complex systems.
Both examples of negentropy exhibit resistance to natural decay which is caused by entropy.
Viability Force
A Viability Force is the Information-driven control of Matter by Energy, leading to formation of life phenomena.
Fundamental Life Drivers
Fundamental Life Drivers (FLD) are basic factors that stimulate or promote the emergence of lifeforms or the sustainability of life.
Summary
In summary, VQR and its associated dimensions provide a structured approach to comprehending the foundational qualities of living reality. This can span from internal dynamics to external influences, or from energetic and material properties to spatial-temporal and informational dimensions. This academic framework enhances our understanding of the intricate interplay of factors that shape the viability and quality of existence itself, including its role in supporting life processes.

🧠 Notable Patterns & Insights
- Many of these words are Latinate, reflecting the influence of scholastic and scientific Latin on English.
- The Greek roots (like 'energeia', 'genos') often entered English through Latin or French intermediaries.
- Words like spacetime and sustainability are modern coinages, built from classical roots to describe contemporary concepts.
