John,
Thanks for the physics refresher.
What I'm really interested in is a more
explicit statement of the conflict with the MoQ...
I remember that Pirsig wrote in a letter to... somebody (maybe Bo?) that
time is one first static patterns to emerge from DQ (does anybody else
remember this???). This developmental placement of time puts it squarely
in the realm of IPoVs, the first patterns. As such, time would be one of
those
"laws of nature by which inorganic patterns triumph over chaos (LILA
p.183)." --- This would seem to suggest (at least to me) that the MoQ would
describe time not as "fixed" per se... but rather just "more fixed" than
chaos... which leaves room for relativity....right?

and values above the discoverers of objective truth."--- Albert Einstein,
from "the Human Side", p.70.
