Greetings Adrie.

Congratulations with your improved English/American, you sound like
a genuine native and also, in this post at least,  air some interesting
thoughts about the MOQ.

I think it was an "art" level or "code" beyond intellect Pirsig spoke
about. The quantum level below the inorganic was the pet of one Doug
Renselle in the very first months  of the  - then - Lila Squad. Before
DMB had begun his destruction of the MOQ with his Jamesian
"Conceptual" nonsense.

Of course there is a meta-level on top, below and surrounding, not
only the static levels, but the complete DQ/SQ system, namely the
MOQ. This is what Pirsig meant by "No one can avoid metaphysics"
before he lost heart and lapsed back in SOM with the MOQ a menu
about the Quality food "out there". Quality and the MOQ are
synonymous.

Compare it to SOM. While it ruled it being a meta-system was hidden -
everyone thought the S/O was reality itself - but with Pirsig
revealing its true nature as a meta-system, the spell was broken. Now
we see that SOM is neither subjective nor objective but a meta-level s
surrounding the S/O dualism. Likewise MOQ is neither dynamic nor
static but the meta-level surrounding or containing the DQ/SQ dualism.


DMB's - and the latter-day Pirsig's - fallacy is to make the MOQ an
intellectual pattern. Completely insane, intellect is a MOQ pattern and
for it to be contained by a subset of its own is impossible according to
Pirsig's own container logic. Anyway,  insisting on an "expansion of
intellect" makes the 4th  a mental, mind-like level and Pirsig has
managed to "knock down the MOQ". Something he said was
impossible (in LILA) but now he has managed  to do  himself.

OK, I doubt you will have DMB's ear regarding this issue and - NB! -
this meta-level isn't any 5th static - nor is it dynamic - but the DQ/SQ
configuration itself. Unless we see the MOQ as reality, all taes place in
"intellect" and that's indistinguishable from SOM.
