Hey Dave;
I don't count two wholes by adding One Quality + One half Dynamic
Quality+One half Static Quality,
but one Quality (as the undefinable, unnameable Father) manifest as
two.. That is consistent with the Christian theory of one God
manifest as Material (Jesus) and spirit (Holy spirit).
Nevertheless, I don't believe Persig derives his metaphysics from this.
