Platt to Andre:

Sounds right to me. But in the Copleston papers Pirsig had this
cautionary note about "intuition."

"Intuition sometimes is an equivalent of Dynamic Quality.  However, it
also a kind of biological instinct.  Since Western philosophy confuses
these two, the MOQ avoids the term."

I think what you and I describe could also be termed "mystic
understanding."

Andre;
Thanks for this Platt. I suppose within the MoQ this (mystic)
understanding, together with creativity, originality, inventiveness,
imagination, unstuckness (ZMM,p273) belong at the Code of art 'level'?

A question popped in my head just now: can it not be argued that the
'code of art' level is 'operative' within/without all static levels?

Mmmm, need to think about this...and its implications as possibility

Thanks Platt
Andre.
