[MD] The hard question

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Marsha and all,

I like the phrase "levels in existence" to describe the meaning of
evolution.  Pirsig described DQ as indefinable.  In my experience emotional
experience fits that description.  The apparatus for knowledge in a sentient
being includes emotion and intellect.  Instinctive and definitive
characterize DQ/SQ 

Describing the apparatus of emotions interacting with thoughts as DQ/SQ is
(can you pick a word?)  I am content with Pirsig's indefinable/definable
suggestion.
