If everything comes from DQ, how do you explain the continuity of the world?
Why doesn't DQ give us a completely different universe every moment? Is
there a static component to DQ? One in which trees suddenly appear and I
always have a new car with a full tank of gas?
DQ is the extension of static patterns and is not patterned itself, without
SQ, it can't remember what universe it created one moment ago, so that's why
I object to it being seen as a God like thing, out ahead of all things
creating them. Most of the time, morally, all patterns are extended
continuously from the past into the present and made real, they only change
when other patterns interact with them and the interactions are themselves
patterns, usually interacting in expected ways. It is that change which is
dynamic, but it is usually doing what we expect it to, based on static
patterns.
I want to see again what Pirsig writes about patterns containing memory,
thanks for the reference. Sounds like it might be like what Edwards called
'abiding habit' or disposition. I think it slips into SOM to think of the
pattern as containing its own memory.
