[MD] [Bulk] Re: MOQ and Completeness Theories (Sorry, , Godel.)

Marsha to Andre:

'The printed text of a book is thus like a musical score, which is not itself music, but becomes music when played by musicians, or "interpreted" by them, as we say'.

Andre:
Problem is Marsha, you are not 'interpreting' the text. You are changing it. By saying DQ=sq you are undermining Pirsig's MOQ. By substituting, to use a static example, all B flat's into B sharp's you are altering the composer's intention and you'd have to change all notes to keep them harmonious. (Not that I know a great deal about composing music but you get the drift).

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with doing that. You can transcribe it into a completely different key as far as I am concerned, alter the beats from 4/4 to 3/4 or 2/4 but don't attribute the result to the composer.

We are here talking about Mr.Pirsig's MOQ and not your own concoction of it which, as I suggested above, makes a mess of things. It renders it meaningless.
