Hi Matt,
If you read the forum essay, 'The edge of chaos' you will understand why i
use the term SQ-SQ tension. This terminology is derived from Pirsig's work.
The better the tension, using this terminology - the more severe the
coherence of patterns in their relationship with DQ - the more beautiful they are.
Patterns in tension/coherence include ALL patterns of the music and the
listener in unity in the event stream.
High coherence = excellence.
All the best,
Mark.
P.S. Have King Crimson released a new album i am not aware of????????
