I would submit that DQ is not so much the evolutionary event that leads to

result of evolution, have been hidden from us in much the same way as the
narrator in ZMM fails to accept and see his true self, Phaedrus, and
resultantly blocks this view from his son, until they remove their
metaphorical helmets at the end of the book. Let's remove our helmets,
starting with the concept of "zero", and take a look around.
Wow. A really good post. The above quote feels correct to me. It's easy to
get bogged down in the middle sections of ZMM and LILA, but I think the
importance of the endings of both books is sometimes forgotten.
