hello everyone
Ant, first i want to comment on your PMOQ paper...it is extremely well
thought out and i really enjoyed reading it. i would be interested in
knowing why you decided not to represent Dynamic Quality in your MOQ diagram
in any fashion, but this email deals only with a minor point from your email
to the Lila Squad in the hopes that perhaps it will shed some light on
certain problems in dealing with quantum theory.

hence its label (from Bohr) as the conceptually unknown.
On other words, it is the part of our experience that is
ineffable; the sublime; usually found in great moments of
wonder or relief.
Ant, Bohr NEVER acknowledged 'the conceptual unknown' whatsoever. that term
is Pirsig's alone, from his SODV paper, and not Bohr's theory of
complementarity, which was designed to examine static reality in an abstract
fashion assuming completeness while still assuming there was indeed a 'real'
object behind the abstractions.
in his paper, Pirsig identified this as a possible reason for Bohr's failure
to come to grips with the philosophical problems surrounding quantum theory,
which would be misunderstood if it were believed Bohr recognized the
Conceptually Unknown. he did not, and refused to comment on it in any of his
writings that i have read.
to me, this is one of the reasons why the MOQ has much value in explaining
some of the paradoxes that quantum theory has brought to light and is the
reason i have been attempting to come to grips with some of these profound
ideas thru my readings and writings.
best wishes,
glove
