[MD] The strong interpretation of the MOQ (SIM)

[skutvik at online.no]

All MOQ Discuss.

I'm back, but after this upheaval it can't be business as usual  so I 
better make some meta-points clear. Even before that, my sincere 
thanks to those who have supported me, I hate to the make it personal 
and would have liked to say "...those who have supported the MOQ" 
because I know that Mary and Platt do defend the MOQ. Likewise 
shame on the hypocrites who - to my great satisfaction - are those who 
don't know the first thing about the MOQ -  Ian and Dan f.ex. - from 
DMB I didn't expect anything else. Reserved thanks to Matt whose 
defense was above me, but sounded good. Ditto for Steve for pointing 
out the strange new rule of not mentioning Pirsig as the origin of the 
SOL interpretation. Well the good man Horse have moderated himself 
it seems so here we go again. 

The meta-point is that Quality Metaphysics bears some strong 
likeness to Quantum Physics (QP) and as you all know there soon 
formed two interpretations -  the weak and strong - the former 
represented by Albert Einstein can be said to confer to SOM-ism, while 
the latter - Niels Bohr the front figure - were the true QP-ist. Neither 
lived to see the matter settled in the eighties when the Einstein-Rosen-
Podolsky (once) thought experiment was carried out and the strong 
interpretation confirmed again and again. 

Nowadays physics has given up on rationalizing QP - it's just used 
faultlessly -  because rationality spells SOM (look to Mary's post a few 
days ago with a quote from ZAMM ) and physics knows nothing about 
the world-shaking MOQ and its own weak/strong struggle taking place 
on this obscure site. It's no risky prediction that once the metaphysical 
counter-piece is settled in favor of  the strong (SOL) interpretation, the 
MOQ will have an immense impact on Physics by resolving/dissolving 
its present SOM-induced impasse.

So, from now on I'll drop the SOL and call it by it's proper designation: 
"The Strong Interpretation of the MOQ". (SIM)  Whether Pirsig agrees 
or not is of little interest, no one can copyright reality and the MOQ is 
not an expansion of the intellectual level, but an expansion of reality 
itself.
