Hi Marsha,

Metaphysics is empty sound, a trigger!  Pirsig with DQ/SQ suggested that
metaphysics is a format, not a sound.  There has to be a trigger for
concepts.  It becomes even more weird when the trigger embraces indefinable
evolving reality and memory.  No wonder metaphysics is a tough slog.

There is a trigger for the color purple etc.  For myself I am content to
place the triggers in an order in existence, evolution.  For evolution one
size existence does not fit all.
