[Platt] DQ is a moral force, NOT mathematical variables and operations. You should know this.
"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of realty, the source of all things, completely simple and always new. It was the moral force that had motivated the brujo in Zuni. It contains no pattern of fixed rewards and punishments. Its only perceived good is freedom and its only perceived evil is static quality itself-any pattern of one-sided fixed values that tries to contain and kill the ongoing free force of life." (Lila, 9) When science identifies a moral source, do let us know. [Krimel] My personal view is that this is another example of Pirsig's unfortunate choice of terms. He claims that a rock falling to the ground is a matter of preference and values and that using such sloppy terms doesn't change the meaning. But it does. It allows you to run around yacking about the lack of moral codes in science when Pirsig has just said physics IS a moral code. Math, biology, geology the whole lot ARE moral codes in the MoQ. In this particular context it is your impoverished notions of morality that the MoQ rejects not science.
