You seem genuinely interested in the MOQ (I don't say SOL because 
it's the only way to interpret the MOQ that sets it apart), and how it 
"encases" SOM is the very crux.

Yes, it will look like this   ...  only I would put intellect (the level) in 
its 
proper place and put SOM in parenthesis. The MOQ is the DQ/SQ 
reality that replaces the former Subject/Object reality, so you see each 
level can be regarded as reality (or metaphysics) that has replaced the 
former.

The container logic isn't mine, it's used by Pirsig in LILA *) and is 
universal. Why you see it as subjectivism I don't get. Subjectivism and 
objectivism has no bearing outside the 4th. level. Infinite regress 
likewise, SOL avoids the said infinite regress that orthodoxy spawns. 
Quality as different from MOQ's DQ demands a QUALITY (slash) 
DQ/SQ  metaphysics, but as this is a metaphysics too it requires 
another QUALITY (SLASH) Quality (slash) DQ/SQ one ... and so on 
ad nausea.      

But elaborate on these points if you feel for it.

*) LILA:
    This problem of trying to describe value in terms of substance 
    has been the problem of a smaller container trying to contain a 
    larger one.  Value is not a subspecies of substance.  
    Substance is a subspecies of value. When you reverse the 
    containment process and define substance in terms of value 
    the mystery disappears: substance is a "stable pattern of 
    inorganic values."  The problem then disappears.  The world of 
    objects and the world of values is unified.
