Thanks for the reference. Yes, there is much of what you say about Value that is 
compatible with the MOQ, especially this: " . . . valuistic experience (is) the
essence of all awarenesss." and this: " . . . man's existence is value-oriented;
he is a valuistic creature." But whereas you say Essence underlies reality, 
Pirisg says Quality not only underlies reality but, in essence, is reality. Also,
nowhere in your essay did I detect your connecting values with morals which, of
course, Pirsig does. Finally, when you get to the "logic of double negation" I'm
lost despite your valiant attempts in the past to enlighten me. That's just one
hurdle that for whatever reason I cannot leap.

Best regards,
Platt
