[MD] What is the oppostite of Quality?

[Dan]
chaos

A new branch of science that deals with systems whose evolution
depends very sensitively upon the initial conditions. Turbulent flows
of fluids (such as white water in a river) and the prediction of the
weather are two areas where chaos theory has been applied with some
success. (www.dictionary.com)

I think it is pretty clear that this is not what Robert Pirsig means
by Dynamic Quality. 

[Krimel]
I think it is pretty clear that Pirsig is ignorant on this point and that
should really cause you to question what he is saying.

[Dan]
I recall that I once asked him about whether it
was wise to say Dynamic Quality is always positive. He said (and I
paraphrase) perhaps not, that it might be better to say it's not this,
not that. It is in LILA'S CHILD toward the end.

[Krimel]
"Not this, not that" might sound wise to you. To me is sounds kind of
clueless.
