Hi Johnny,

These statements are tautologies. The meaning of the word "notice"
presupposes the existence of something to notice by someone. Likewise, the
meaning of "consciousness" presupposes the existence of something to be
conscious of by someone.

To get beyond such subject/object problems, Pirsig places existence
(Quality) prior to "consciousnesses," "someones" and all other such
intellectual patterns which are merely derivatives of an omnipresent but
ineffable moral being.

Best,
Platt
