I'm reposting this because it didn't go through the first time and it's been
two days...
Ian (Picky) and Matt:
------ I'd like to resubject this thread because it no longer has anything
to do with "Chaos and it's role in Evolution" and In order to respect Mark's
discussion ------
"holy holy holy trinity..." It's something I've been thinking about a bit
lately that I wasn't sure if i should bring up with the group or not because
it's sure to be a touchy subject. While we're here, however - what, if
anything, are the similarities between the Christian mystery of the Holy
trinity and Quality? Three in one, one in three.
This is an idea that's been haunting me for a while; perhaps it's my
penchant for drawing obtuse connections. But there seem to be relationships
between {God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit} and {Quality,
Static Quality, Dynamic Quality}. Not between the physical (or spiritual)
things but between the philosophical conceptions - the ideas that I have of
them. I don't really care if this suggestion is faux pas - that we're trying
to stay away from the social level controlled by the Church or some such
nonsense. Pirsig has a deliberate focus on eastern Mysticism but he comes
from a Christian tradition and those ideas are buried very deeply in the
subconscious of our society. Maybe a bit of a look into these Christian
ideas could give us a bit more of a handle on Quality.

PS. I'm not big on labels but Relationist sounds wonderful to me. Especially
since absolutists seem to think that relativism sees everything as equal - I
guess that's part of the blind spot in their point of view.

Rebecca, Matt,
Call me picky, but for me ...
* one thing
* interacting with
* another thing
... is three things - the triplet as I've referred to it before.
Same idea, same "event" though, so no argument.
I like "relationalist" as a riposte to accusations of "relativist"
