Emphasis is Pirsig's) This is at a very early stage of the Quality system in ZAMM when SOM was seen as the destroyer of the great old mythological past, but - according to the "mythos-logos" mechanism - were seen as becoming another mythos left in the dust by the mythos-generator itself QUALITY. Thus the analogies in this example are the static quality levels and their patterns in the full-fledged MOQ and unless DQ is an analogy too everything is Quality (Morals, Values or Good as Mary points to) Again, if everything were analogies Pirsig would have made it a MOQ.
