Hello Anthony.  You included the following in a response to Matt.
  
     "The logically correct view, as Pirsig notes, is that ideas such as brains
     are just theoretical constructs (derived from the aesthetic continuum) that
     appeared at some point in human history as high quality ideas i.e.
     experience/Quality logically comes first, ideas about this
     experience/Quality (such as physics, brains, chairs, the self, Sellar’s
     lecture “Myth of the Given” etc) come second."
  
Yes, but without a framework to make sense of it, there will be no meaning in
the experience.  The process by which unintelligible experiences become
meaningful ones is what James Fowler calls faith.
  
     "Faith is not always religious in its content or context.  To ask these
     questions seriously of oneself or others does not necessarily mean to
     elicit answers about religious commitment or belief.  Faith is a person's or
     group's way of moving into the force field of life.  It is our way of finding
     coherence in and giving meaning to the multiple forces and relations that
     make up our lives.  Faith is a person's way of seeing him- or herself in
     relation to others against the background of shared meaning and purpose."
     (Stages of Faith: The Psychology of Human Development (HapperCollins)
  
Does the Metaphysics of Quality recognize this process?  Does it have a
name for it?
