All right Marsha I was wrong, below is the quote I was thinking of and it
does NOT contain the said "all patterns are contained inside the
intellectual level" sentence. I did NOT say so to support my SOL
interpretation far from that, but I agree, all quotes or references must
be correct so shame on me..
(digital LILA p.104) . So what the Metaphysics of Quality
concludes is that all schools are right on the mind-matter
question. Mind is contained in static inorganic patterns. Matter
is contained in static intellectual patterns. Both mind and
matter are completely separate evolutionary levels of static
patterns of value, and as such are capable of each containing
the other without contradiction.
However, as your quote from the Paul Turner letter shows, Pirsig really
means it that way, so it seems.

PS.
Right now I have joined my wife for X-mas and as ZAMM and LILA are
in my studio computer ... the physical book are also in my studio so I
can't search them.
