Hi Dan and All, In SOM the theory of knowledge hinged on abstraction. The duality of intentional and real existence does not occur through perception. Som's value for a roll for existence in consciousness in the metaphysics for transferable knowledge as opposed to instinct seems reasonable. IMHO Pirsig observed indefinable DQ as the measure for consciousness. You know it when you experience it.
Pirsig proposed DQ indefinable, SQ definable concepts for reality in knowledge. What kind of vessel supports indefinable/definable reality? The intellectual vessel is sorely taxed in trying to go in both directions. It is easier to propose that the emotional vessel upholds the consciousness of indefinable reality. The mare of Metaphysics is off and running and where she stops nobody knows!
