[MD] Science and the MOQ

[skutvik at online.no]

Greetings Abey. Hi Jorge

In the avalanche of non-MOQ related posts I haven't noticed your 
arrival, but yours of 10 March woke me up. I believe this is you 
speaking to Jorge, there are so many ways of editing posts.

Say again, there arrive new participants and I (as the self-
appointed arbiter) have great expectations but so few seem to 
understand the very roots of the MOQ. Your saying that the MOQ 
is a study of the structure ...etc. hopefully means that it takes a 
step out of SOM and on to a higher metaphysical plane: the 
Dynamic/Static one.

Exactly, but it only attacks science in its SOM capacity and 
leaves the residual S/O divide as its own intellectual level (the 
SOL interpretation) Something that much of LILA supports or 
advocates, yet, when asked to directly define the said level as the 
S/O distinction Pirsig hesitated and that leaves the MOQ in 
limbo.

IMO
