Hi Platt
This is about as twisted as it's possible to get and another excuse to
promote Bo's version of Pirsig's MoQ - i.e. SOL
SOM (as created by Pirsig, as you yourself pointed out) is a
metaphysical position whereby reality is divided into Subjects and
Objects. It is not a level in Pirsigs MoQ and contains no levels of its own.
How can Objects (as per SOM) be imaginary symbols? Is a rock or a plant
or a pig and imaginary symbol?
Have Subjects and Objects now become imaginary symbols.
As it was Pirsig who created SOM (as you have stated) could you show us
where he says that it is it's own level or where he states that it is
the level of imaginary symbols. For that matter, what exactly is an
imaginary symbol because as far as I'm aware Subjects nor Objects are
either imaginary or symbols within SOM.

SOM is the level of manipulation of imaginary symbols which are taken by some
