Hi Mary and all,
 
Imho:  Persig  describes the evolution of DQ/SQ in four levels.   Authors in
an esoteric tradition like Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Nicoll, Collin, Bennett
etc., describe evolution in 7 levels.  I accept the 7 levels since they are
for me reminiscent of the musical scale.   Individualization of reality at
each interval for manifestation can be described in an active, passive, or
neutral configuration.  The 1 of mathematics is neutral.  I suppose there
could never be a mathematics of metaphysics.
 
In manifestation there are three characteristics possible for each step
active, passive, or neutral.   I find the DQ/SQ description of individuation
in conception and logic convincing.
