[MD] Quality and Chaos

[Krimel]

Moqers, one and all,

While I appreciate the kind thoughts some of you have offered; as I feared
the main points of my earlier post was lost. I am reposting it here in the
hope that it will get the attention I think it deserves:

Note: This BTW, is the essence of my understanding 
      of the MoQ. I have tap danced around it since 
      my first post here but I understand the MoQ 
      as stating:

1. Shit Happens.
2. Quality is Chaos
3. Quality (Chaos) has two aspects DQ (uncertainty) 
   SQ (certainty)
4. Value (meaning) is reduction of uncertainty.  
   (That is, meaning results from and results in, 
   our ability to create and manipulate static quality) 
5. Biological organisms are the meaning (SQ) that evolution 
   derives from chaos.
6. As such organisms, we create meaning from chaos 
7. We are beings that create SQ from the DQ around us
   or to use James' terms, We derive concepts from 
   experience

Or, simplistically speaking, something like that...

I have never thought that this truly put me at odds with Pirsig but years of
arguing here have done little but convince me that somehow it does.
