Hi Roger,
I read all of Anthony McWatt's paper and I could not find my question in
it, much less the answer. There are some questions at the end of the paper
directed to Pirsig about the static nature of evolution and time and some
kind of paradox which I didn't fully understand (and neither did Pirsig),
but these were not my question. Did I miss something?
