Marsha to dmb:
Let's see how RMP describes the MoQ's first and most important
distinction: In the Pirsig-McWatt Letters 1993-98 PDF, you will see that
Pirsig suggests (in a 1997 letter) that "patterned" and "unpatterned"
were terms he could have used instead of "static" and "Dynamic".
So, I have DQ as unpatterned: not divisible, not definable and not
knowable; undifferentiated - nondualistic, "not this, not that", "neti,
neti" (the Vedic terminology)
Andre:
Footnote in Anthony's PhD:
'It's worth noting that Pirsig (1997d) considers the terms
'patterned'and 'unpatterned' as synonyms for 'static quality' and
'Dynamic Quality' though the former terms are usually avoided due to a
problem of ambiguity with 'unpatterned'...'
Did you get that Marsha?! The terms 'patterned' and 'unpatterned' are
usually AVOIDED due to a problem of ambiguity with 'unpatterned'. I
thought I'd write it out again in case you missed it.
I suspect you insist on using these terms because of the posibility of
ambiguous interpretations so that you can pull your Lucy tricks again.
