We all live, speak and write in an S/O reality.  Yet, as Craig notes, Pirsig 
posits (theorizes) a QUALITY (DQ?) reality.  As the author of Essentialism, 
I posit an ESSENCE reality.  Does this mean that, except for the names of 
our respective realities, Pirsig and I have an absolute or ultimate reality 
in common?

How do Pirsigians feel about this?  Or do they not regard undifferentiated 
Quality as their primary Reality?

Just curious,
