[MD] perceptions

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Ant and All,

My focus has been on the question: What does it mean to "know things"?  When
I studied SOM "Abstraction" was the pivotal term.

Pirsig sees DQ/SQ as a metaphysical reality for knowledge, direct
experience.  Indefinable/definable covers all experience and I try to
conceptualize the theory of knowledge including the indefinable.

I accept that consciousness can accept definable/indefinable reality as a
concept in being, MOQ!

A theory of knowledge DQ/SQ embraces consciousness as differing from the
instinct of animals.  When sleep is used to describe both
conscious/instinctive inactivity questions are raised requiring metaphysical
explanations like DQ for configuring reality in consciousness.  IMHO!
