    Bo Skutvik replied September 21st:

    Not explained clearly? You mean that it is not implied in Pirsig's work?

    Ant McWatt comments:

    Bo,

    What I mean is that Ifve never read an explanation of SOLAQI (SOM as the
    MOQ's intellect) from yourself (or anyone else) in which Ifve been able to
    follow a well set out argument.

    To cut to the chase, if SOM was the intellectual level of the MOQ then that
    would mean the MOQ itself is part of SOM or that the MOQ is a
    non-intellectual static pattern (such as a social one). Both options seem
    nonsensical to me.

    Maybe an idea for a future gMOQ through the Looking-glassh? ‡”:-)

    Best wishes,

    Anthony.

    gWell! Ifve often seen an SOM without an MOQ,h thought Alice; gbut an
    MOQ in an SOM! Itfs the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!h

    (Apologies to Lewis Carroll and the Cheshire Cat). ‡”:-)
