If the subject is going is time, I thought this might be pertinent
from 'The Role of Evolution, Time and Order in Pirsig's "Metaphysics
of Quality"':
"As I understand the first paradox alleged here, the MOQ
inconsistently states that time created the static universe and also
states that time is not a part of the static universe. You can't have
it both ways. The answer, I think, is that according to the
Metaphysics of Quality, time and change did NOT act to evolve the
static universe. Only Dynamic Quality did this. "Time" and "change"
are primary concepts used to describe this evolution but they do not
cause evolution any more than Newton's law of gravity causes the
earth to stick together. Except where muscle tissue is involved,
concepts do not push inorganic matter around."

I just have to ask, how is "Dynamic Quality" able to "do this" any
more than "time" and "change."

You are asking me how "Dynamic Quality" does something? I can only
answer that I do not know. I offered the above as a RMP quote
concerning the subject of time. For me time is a static pattern of
value. Does the universe care today from a year ago? No.
Did Dynamic Quality exist before Pirsig made it up any
more than gravity existed before Newton?

No.
