Yes, reality is the DQ/SQ configuration. > The four evolutionary, categorizing levels represent all static > quality (patterns of value). Quality that is not static quality is > Dynamic Quality. So the top most point-of-view is not the MOQ, but > is REALITY EQUALS QUALITY. There was no-one who said that reality was NOT quality before Pirsig. What ruled was the subject/object metaphysics and because MOQ's mission is to overthrow SOM its dynamic/static schism is what counts. Mark did not notice or understand my comparison with physics. Einstein's revolutionary axiom was the E=MC2 (all is energy) but energy comes in two forms, the dynamic "E" and the static 'M'(ass) (times the speed of light). After this is accepted the "all is energy" disappears from sight, it's taken for granted.If when the MOQ is accepted the "Reality is Quality" is superfluous, it's taken for granted. > QUALITY is the ocean, Dynamic/static is the waves. imho In my opinion DQ is the ocean and the waves the static levels with ripples on top of the waves= static patterns.
