If you mean that for instance a car can be assembled "in a variety of different ways" perhaps so, but it no longer can be used for transportation, but more an art "installation" which is the hype these days. But seriously you may have a point, Pirsig's "obsession" was/is Reality=Quality issue and he obviously thinks that the Q-reality can be "assembled" many ways and still be a Quality Metaphysics. He even says somewhere that SOM is a "moq. This is so outrageous that I hardly believe my eyes. No one sees the difference between a Q- SOM and the ordinary article, however the various static levels can be seen as "assemblies of DQ in different ways". Yet not arbitrary, biological life had to follow inorganic death and society after that and finally intellect. This sequence is fixed be it on earth or on a planet in Alfa Centauri. And Pirsig must for Goodness sake have seen the DQ/SQ assembly as the one that makes the MOQ work and not be a mere "installation".
