Hi Mary and all,

³What is consciousness?²

Imho it¹s a pile. DQ/SQ a description of evolution suggested by Pirsig to
describe a metaphysics of the undefined/defined logic.

The defined for me is best described in a hierarchy in existence called
evolution:  

1. Inorganic,
2. Organic life 1: reproduction by cell-splitting,
3. Organic life 2: reproduction by penetration of the egg-call wall by a
sperm-cell  

The undefined DQ for me is best described as evolution, a hierarchy in
existence of a further evolution of undefined consciousness in the case of a
sentient being (self-awareness).

4. DQ Consciousness evolves to an emotional/social level DQ only.
5. DQ Consciousness evolves to an intellectual level DQ/SQ.
6. DQ Consciousness evolves to a higher-emotional level, DQ only.
7. DQ Consciousness evolves to a higher-intellectual level, DQ only.  (The
last two levels are the high country of Heroes.) Esoteric literature is the
basis of this schema for evolution.
