"Because we're unaccustomed to it, we don't usually see that there's a third
possible logical term equal to yes or no which is capable of expanding our
understanding in an unrecognisable direction. We don't even have a term for
it, so I'll have to use the Japanese 'mu'.
mu means 'no thing'. Like 'quality' it points outside the process of dualistic
discrimination. mu simply says, 'no class; not one, not zero, not yes, not no'.
It states that the context of the question is such that a yes or no answer is in
error and should not be given. 'Unask the question' is what it says."
