Hi Ant and All, My focus has been on the question: What does it mean to "know things"? When I studied SOM "Abstraction" was the pivotal term.
Pirsig sees DQ/SQ as a metaphysical reality for knowledge, direct experience. Indefinable/definable covers all experience and I try to conceptualize the theory of knowledge including the indefinable. I accept that consciousness can accept definable/indefinable reality as a concept in being, MOQ! A theory of knowledge DQ/SQ embraces consciousness as differing from the instinct of animals. When sleep is used to describe both conscious/instinctive inactivity questions are raised requiring metaphysical explanations like DQ for configuring reality in consciousness. IMHO!
