1 Bergson's use of "concrete qualities," from a Quantonics perspective is unfortunate. However, by 'concrete' Bergson intends "Really real." Quantum reality is n¤t a classical concrete immutability. Quantum reality is anything but concrete, rather it is flux, absolute flux semper fluxio, as desnoured by Planck's constant and its h-bar 'spin.' Classicists get rid of quantum reality by "zeroing h-bar." That makes quantum reality classically concrete. In Quantonics 'concrete quality' is an oxymoron. Doug - 1Feb2006.
