Where does the MOQ say that "the world as we know it" are analogies. It says
that it is Value. If it was analogies a Metaphysics of Analogies (MOA) is
required.

"Now it comes! Because Quality is the GENERATOR of the mythos. That's it.
That's what he meant when he said, 'Quality is the continuing stimulus which
causes us to create the world in which we live. All of it. Every last bit of
it.' ...Men invent RESPONSES to Quality, and among these responses is an
understanding of what they themselves are. You know something and then the
Quality stimulus hits and then you try to define the Quality stimulus, but to
define it all you've go to work with is what you know. So your definition is
made up of what you know. It's an analogue to what you already know. It HAS to
be. It can't be anything else. And the mythos grows this way. By analogies to
what is known before. The mythos is a building of analogues upon analogues.
These fill the boxcars of the train of consciousness." (ZAMM, page 351, near
the end of chapter 28. Emphasis is Pirsig's)
