Doug's Comparison of What he Calls 'Extremes of Classical ISMs.

Classical ISM Extremes
Juxtaposed Pirsig's MoQ, Quantum Reality
&
Evolute Empiricism
(need wingdings and rtf fonts)

UNIVERSALS EXIST IN REALITY INDEPENDENT OF A MIND	UNIVERSALS EXIST ONLY IN A MIND	UNIVERSAL NAMES AND CONCEPTS EXIST ONLY IN A MIND (~SOM)	MULTIPLE INTERRELATING QUALITIES EXIST AS FUNDAMENTAL REALITY (MoQ~Quantum)	MULTIPLE PRINCIPLES EXIST AS FUNDAMENTAL REALITY (CR)	OPPOSING PRINCIPLES EXIST AS FUNDAMENTAL REALITY (SOM, ~CR)	ONE PRINCIPLE EXISTS AS FUNDAMENTAL REALITY (~SOM)	NO PRINCIPLES OR QUALITIES EXIST AS FUNDAMENTAL REALITY (See Morton White.)
See this link for detail comparisons among MoQ, CR, and SOM.

Naturalism		Gnostically this is what Ancients meant by Diablo, Satan, "the Devil," and what we refer from Pirsig's MoQ as "ESQ" Quantumly, all substance is absolute perpetual flux. "Matter waves!"

Note 1 - John Forbes Nash, recall-quoted in Sylvia Nasar's A Beautiful Mind, p. 243, from Nasar's 23Mar1996 interview with Jerome Neuwirth.

Note 2 - Max Jammer, in his The Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics, asks us to check out these folk: Ibn-Rushd, Duns Scotus, and Siger of Brabant.

Reader, please note how our green column begs Pirsig's MoQ as an extrapolation of James' evolute empiricism. In our green column title we use Pirsigean, Bergsonian, Jamesian 'Qualities/Value.' Also, in our green column, our use of 'self-awareness' is our own quantum extrapolation of their philosophies and metaphysiques.

Importantly, we deny Pirsig's MoQ as an ISM! Why? It subsumes all classical ISMs as exclusive Static Patterns of Value (Aristotelian excluded-middle objective interactions.). MoQ is n¤n-exclusive, it is rather, quantum inclusive with admission of included-middle Value interrelationships.

DQ v SQ

We see Value instances as quantons(DQ,SQ)
and depict these quantons graphically thus:
MoQ's SPoVs are: Intellectual, Social,

Blue is Pirsig's DQ, and dark green/black is Pirsig's SQ
which commingles/coinsides/compenetrates blue DQ.
Biological, and
Inorganic.

You may find it both interesting and worth your while to compare our use of Quantonic semiotics here on Pirsig's DQ and SQ to our dual of it applied to Bergson's I-cubed: Intellect, Intuition, and Instinct.

Thank you for reading,
