Hi Roger, Jonathan, Elephant and All:
JONATHAN:
Let me explain. I think that the following words are all linked:
RESPONSIVE-SENSITIVE-EVALUATING-AWARE-SENTIENT-
CONSCIOUS-INTELLIGENT. They may carry additional semantic
baggage, but they share VALUE as common element.
To which I add the word PERCEPTION, as Roger defines it below.
ROGER: (from post Mar 29 titled “rogers metaphors”)
But back to his argument, he suggests that as infants, we get
perceptions (DQ in Pirsigese) and "chunk" them into patterns or
concepts based upon similarities or correspondence.
We get perceptions = DQ. Atoms get perceptions (are aware)=DQ.
Otherwise, how does one explain creation (evolution) of the inorganic
and biological levels in the MOQ?
