Diana,

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Do you honestly believe that what you wrote above is what Pirsig says
about the MoQ?

'Lila' is unambiguous about simplicity and complexity. DQ is simple!
Everyone recognizes it but cannot define it. SQ is complex! We can
define it, but the definitions are endless because the possible patterns
are infinite and range from infinitely simple to infinitely complex.

If you want to tell TLS that MoQ is simple, fine, but I want to go on
the record here and now that I believe your position is wrong.

MoQ is complement(simple, complex). MoQ is complement(DQ, SQ).

To say MoQ is simple is to put a SOM-part of one's body in the sand so
to speak, IMO.

Mtty,

Doug Renselle.
