Thanks Andre, more than a year after I originally asked how the ambiguity of Quality is reconciled, somebody finally gives me an answer.
And a pretty darn good one, at that. Pirsig (2001d) > justifies this by suggesting that 'static patterned quality can be positive > or negative > the way temperature or pressure or wealth or a thousand other patterned > things can be > positive or negative' and that existence AS A WHOLE is fundamentally > valuable'. (pp 57-8) > Or more pithily, we can just post Krimel's Axiom along with John's Corollary - Shit happens, and that's a GOOD thing. Logically equivalent to "Existence as a whole as fundamentally valuable" - the essential heart of the MoQ - and connects with my position that the MoQ is a species of Absolute Idealism.
