Hi Jonathan and LS:
I agree 100 percent with your analysis of binary logic as set forth in your
post of July 7. I wrote "Yes, Yes" next to your last two lines:

I would only suggest that Quality evaluation of some situations may be
instinctual (fight or flight), and that binary logic may also possess an
aesthetic aspect, such as an "elegant" computer program.
In any event, thanks for putting dialetics in a Pirsigian perspective.
