I question your use of ³the indefinable Void² with DQ in parenthesis.
³Indefinable² and ³void² do not have the same meaning.  

[Arlo]
The indefinable is what creates the Void in symbolic representations. I'm not
talking about a big, black hole in space. If the term troubles you, drop it,
"The code of art, or just "art", is IMO that which allows us to catch a
fleeting glance of the indefinable (DQ)."

[Joseph]
Rather than creating a greater emphasis for a meaning for DQ, when placed
together they are ³nonsense² .

[Arlo]
I don't think so. I think it creates a very salient metaphor. Like the "void"
in Magritte's "False Mirror".

[Jospeh]
By definition there is nothing in a void.

[Arlo]
Alright, I'm not gonna get into a big literal/metaphorical argument here. As I
said, I wasn't referring to a vacant area of space, but to the everpresent
"Void" in the semantic web of our symbolically-mediated activity; that which
symbols can only point to, but never capture.

[Joseph]
Imho DQ as evolution is not nonsense.

[Arlo]
?? Um. Okay. No one said it was.
