Note: Quality splits into static and dynamic
quality. Dynamic quality is the undefined aspect of
quality. Static quality is the metaphysical,
definitional aspect of quality. Static quality is
four systems called intellectual, social, biological,
and inorganic. Intellect is a static pattern of
quality.

How about two types of reality? SOM and MOQ.
When your intellect views S/O you view a SOM reality.
Intellect is static quality, as Pirsig defines this
aspect of quality, and static quality is quality.
Quality is reality. Quality includes intellect. I
find MoQ intellectual explanation to be better than
your SOM intellectual explanation.

When you recognize there is no division between
experience, values, and intellect (static patterns of
quality/value) then you avoid all contradictions and
logical absurdities and just hear the music. You have
found a bridge over paradox.
Quality is Reality. Reality is not Quality and
some UNreality, vortex world called intellect that
somehow we've tapped into using our interdimensional
lightbeam handy dandy pocket travel kit. Intellect is
a static quality. Static quality is four levels, and
intellect is one of them. Intellect is thus quality.
Quality is static and dynamic, etc..., etc...
