Hi Mark,
...maybe DQ in this sense is anything that's not
"routine maintenance"
Significantly, you're evolving towards something
right?... the further an end point you want to get to,
the more dynamic your solution is going to have to be.
Mark:
Bong! That's a shame because the prize fund has now
reached $100,000.
I was hoping you might have said, 'sq seems to be
converging towards DQ' or something like that?
I was thinking we have evolution on two scales, cosmic
and in a secondary ontological sense.
I am viewing cosmic evolution as a series of latches
composed of many tiny secondary ontological events.
If you think about it, this begins to look a bit
fractal, and i know you have a penchant for fractals.
(They can't touch you for it)
Rebecca:
Dynamic quality breaks down static patterns.
It doesn't necessarily have to leave 'better' static
patterns in its wake - but different patterns, a
reorganization.
Mark:
I agree entirely and then some. Chaotic patterns don't
appear to be better for example, yet they are the
result of DQ.
Rebecca:
((Aside: Really I never liked Pirsig's emphasis on
dynamic over static quality, myself... I'm more of a
'balance' girl, myself.))
Mark:
I struggle with this too.
It seems to me that understanding, which is entirely
sq, can converge toward DQ on a cosmic scale, and at
the scale of motorcycle maintenance. We don't have to
wait until the goal of evolution has been reached on
the cosmic scale, we can jump straight there when we
absorb ourselves in maintenance.
We seem to pop in and out of DQ, and each pop moves
closer to the sq cosmos converging with DQ. Maybe this
merging is asymptotic (closely approaching but never
meeting)
Anyway, feedback seems to play a part, and i notice
yogic practitioners use feedback to drop conditioning.
So whether you're a yogi or working on a cycle, you're
basically meditating?
Rebecca:
I think it would be really dynamic if you could just
rearrange the whole bike into a machine that could
teleport you instantly from one place to another. :)
[ recognizing that this would totally eliminate the
purpose of the bike for some... ]
Mark:
I notice at my local petrol station they are now
giving away free personal matter transportation
podules with every ten litres of unleaded. You can not
only, 'be in the moment' but you can be 'in all
everywhere'! ;-)
