Hi Dan, Mark I think your analogy is correct Mark. And like gravity, I see Dynamic Quality as a "natural force" as opposed to being some sort of a supernatural agent. As Pirsig points out, betterness can be measured by the decisions made by entities at all levels and especially humans every day by choosing what to buy and sell, not to mention whether to participate in a philosophy forum or not -- choices, as Mark says, among static creations.

When we see something better, that is Dynamic Quality. But look for it, and it is not there. All we see are the static quality patterns left it its wake [Mark] Yes, I agree. The same can be said for a force such as gravity. We see what it does, leaving solar systems in its wake. We measure how things interact, and we bring in a description of gravity. It does not exist without that which it is acting upon. One could state that gravity created such a phenomenon, or one could say the planets and sun create gravity, and both are right because they coexist, or co-create. Quality is not directly measurable, its measurement is through the static creations. For me, such static creations do not contain Quality in themselves, but are defined by Quality, which lies somehow in between two things of different quality. As such, we can provide it description in the same way gravity is used to describe planetary motion.
