Scott, i should ask you to consider the following:
But we know from Phaedrus' metaphysics that the harmony Poincare talked about
is not subjective. It is the source of subjects and objects and exists in an
anterior relationship to them. It is not capricious, it is the force that
opposes capriciousness; the ordering principle of all scientific and mathematical
thought which destroys capriciousness, and without which no scientific thought
can proceed. What brought tears of recognition to my eyes was the discovery
that these unfinished edges match perfectly in a kind of harmony that both
Phaedrus and Poincare had talked about, to produce a complete structure of thought
capable of uniting the separate languages of science and art into one. ZMM.
p. 271
Harmony is anterior to subjects and objects.
In the MoQ, there are no subjects and objects and there do not have to be.
The anterior harmony is a relationship between static intellectual patterns and
DQ, and the selection of what is best is based upon harmonious relationships
between experience and DQ.
