Hi Ron, Ham:

Pirsig also explained the why science and art are unified in contrast
to Ham's view that the two pursuits have little in common:

"In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance art was defined as high
quality
endeavor. I have never found a need to add anything to that definition.
But one of
the reasons I have spent so much time in this paper describing the
personal
relationship of Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr in the development of
quantum theory
is that although the world views science as a sort of plodding, logical
methodical
advancement of knowledge, what I saw here were two artists in the throes
of creative
discovery. They were at the cutting edge of knowledge plunging into the
unknown
trying to bring something out of that unknown into a static form that
would be of
value to everyone. As Bohr might have loved to observe, science and art
are just two
different complementary ways of looking at the same thing. In the
largest sense it is
really unnecessary to create a meeting of the arts and sciences because
in actual
practice, at the most immediate level they have never really been
separated. They
have always been different aspects of the same human purpose." (SODV
Paper)

Like other divisions intellect imposes on direct experience, at the
higher level
of Quality the divisions collapse into one.

Platt, good to have your input. You drive my point home. The absence of
your static patterns of quality has been noticed.
