Platt to Andre: Suddenly from nothing came something. Is that your position?. Do you think that's the MOQ position?
Andre: Yes,Platt I believe that is the MoQ position. Take away your word 'suddenly' and you get; 'The MoQ starts with the source of undifferentiated perception itself as ultimate reality (no-thing/ DQ/ the Tao/the undifferentiated). The very first differentiation is probably 'change'.(SQ) The second one may be 'before and after'. From this sense of 'before and after' emerge more complex concepts of time'.(McWatt,PhD,p166) (My additions in brackets). This leads us to the DQ/SQ configuration. As Anthony suggests the concepts of 'time' are a 'secondary' development, and this makes a lot of sense, within which I place the idea of 'suddenly' as well. It makes the question: 'At what point in time did 'it' start?' rather silly. 'Time' is zero. There is no time. Have I gone wrong anywhere Platt?
