Maggie:
I agree with Anders Nielsen that the Quality Event is neither where Static
and Dynamic Quality interact or where static values of patterns interact
with other levels. The Quality Event is not an interactive event but a
transformative event. It is the event at which the ultimate reality of the
world (Quality) is transformed:
from the one to the many
from the sensation of self to the perception of other
from chaos to pattern
from potential to actual
from unity to relativity
from simultaneity to duality
from present to past
from primacy to derivative
from the Big Now to the Great Divide
from the ineffable to the expressible
The Quality Event is the Organizing Principle of the world, creating
pattern and relationships upon which the world became structured and upon
which it depends for survival. The QE is the initial, primal static latch
required for the world to see itself, to engage in the play of Lila, to
understand itself.
What the world understands now is the Metaphysics of Oops, the philosophy
of science which asserts the world came into being because it just
happened, the result of the Principle of Chance. It is known in everyday
life simply as "Whatever."
What the world will eventually come to understand is the Metaphysics of
Quality, the philosophy of Robert Pirsig which asserts the world came into
being because it was right that it do so, the result of the Principle of
Goodness. It is known in everyday life simply as "Beautiful.'
Hope this helps. Platt
