    Interesting Paper David, and relevant to this thread.

    It's a natural feature of our evolutionary / pragmatic MoQ that
    multiple interpretations can look like anarchy - any common ground we
    establish on what is to be considered "fundamental" is by agreement,
    not by Aristotelian (or even Pirsigian) authority.

    That's not to say we shouldn't look for those common foundations, just
    that it's fundamental only by pragmatic agreement, not by some
    absolute idea of having bottomed out any "real" fundament. A concept
    which in itself fits very well with MoQ's static patterns of value.
    The MoQ is self-describing. A good quality that attracts me to it.

    Ian
