For goodness sake look in ZMM on the diagram page wherever 
that may be in your edition! If you have that book?

You refuse to understand the ocean/wave - um - analogy. MOQ's 
fundamental split is the dynamic/static one. It's no use repeating 
that static inorganic patterns (rocks) only are DQ defined ... the 
source of all things etc.  What is static is NOT dynamic!

"Human beings". Doesn't that spell "mind" and/or "language"?

I agree most profoundly with this, but then you introduced 
"human beings", presumably as if the human mind and/or its 
language overrides Quality, as if Quality is a mind/language 
pattern. This is exactly where Pirsig sins by - first - defining 
intellect as mind and then the MOQ as an intellectual pattern. 
After the Paul Turner letter he re-defined intellect as "symbol 
manipulation" (language) and then the MOQ became a language 
pattern. The MOQ will never work until we return to Phaedrus' 
insight that intellect=SOM. But this seems to be anathema. Now 
that I'm back the defender of orthodoxy - DMB - has retreated in 
hurt silence. And Laird who raised the SOL issue (and fooled me 
into believing that he had seen something) disappeared without a 
trace. Ok, this is not your "fault" ;-)

Again, the DQ/SQ is MOQ's fundamental divide. A rock - the 
universe itself - is the first static "fallout". I don't see the purpose 
of repeating the obvious that this "wave" really is "ocean". That 
goes without saying.
