"In the Metaphysics of Quality this dilemma doesn't come up. To the extent that one's behavior is CONTROLLED by static patterns of quality it is without choice. But to the extent that one FOLLOWS Dynamic Quality, which is undefinable, one's behavior is free." (Pirsig)
[Dan] > When we FOLLOW static patterns of quality, we are without choice. Note that Pirsig says CONTROLLED not FOLLOW. He leaves it open whether we can choose to follow static patterns. [Dan] > Marriage is a social pattern of quality predicated on monogamy. There > is no choice involved once two people are married. Not so. Couples can agree on an "open marriage" where there are other sexual choices possible or on "spouse swapping" where respective partners are are paired with another couple.
