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...
