SOM did not stop with Aristotle, as the 4th. level (in a MOQ retrospect) it grew more and more formidable like all levels have before it and with the late twentieth century it reached a complexity that spawned the MOQ, which isn't a new level but the metaphysics that ordered excistence along the Dynamic/Static line and - most important - adopted the SOM as its own intellectual level. IMO Bo Hi Bo and all, Your vision and conclusion are breathtaking. Thank You!! I agree SOM did not stop with Aristotle. Thomas Aquinas commented on Aristotle¹s METAPHYSICS, and that view of metaphysics was the standard in medieval times. I was taught in 1961 about Aquinas¹ theory of knowledge (taken from Aristotle) based on ABSTRACTION. INTENTIONAL EXISTENCE according to Aquinas-Aristotle provided a way to embody ideas in substance instead of the world of ideas of Plato. Pirsig was a breath of fresh air with QUALITY! His difficulty with the professor in Chicago set off ringing bells. To have a place to stand to view SOL as composed of SOM indicates another level to view in evolution. I think of universes, galaxies, the milky-way, sun, planet, moon, and wonder that organic life on earth with proprietary awareness is evolving against the grain. Another way to view SOL!
