Hi Ron:

I take that as a "yes" to my question. To follow up, do you agree with 
Pirsig?

"In the third box are the biological patterns: senses of touch, sight 
hearing, smell and taste. The Metaphysics of Quality follows the empirical 
tradition here in saying that the senses are the starting point of reality, 
but -- all importantly -- it includes a sense of value. Values are 
phenomena. To ignore them is to misread the world." (SODV) 

Thanks
