Khaled Actually it took me awhile to find out myself MOQ, metaphysics of quality DQ dynamic quality SOL is Subject Object Logic [Krimel] I would add that Pirsig ends ZMM with the idea that Quality is basically the same thing as the Tao of Taoism. Although there is no universal agreement on anything here at the MoQ my own view is that he extends this in Lila so that Static Quality and Dynamic Quality are roughly equivalent to the Yin and Yang of Taoism. They are the Active (Dynamic) and Passive (Static), or Yang and Yin. So there is a lot of talk here about Static Quality (SQ) and Dynamic Quality (DQ). The term avatar is not part of the MoQ it is just part of a current discussion about the nature of the "self". An avatar is a representation of the self. In this context we are talking about computer representations of the "self". For example I am an avatar for my user. He used to play my character in the game Everquest. He is independent of me. Well, I use his body to type with but otherwise he is pretty useless. I suspect that your mother doesn't call you Zenith Uzbeckistan. So Zenith Uzbeckistan is the avatar you have chosen to interact with folks on this forum. Unless of course you are another of Arlo's incarnations sent in to confuse us. As though we had a confusion shortage...
