As said to John. SOM robbed of its M makes for the intellectual level's 
static value, but in that capacity it's a DQ/SQ subset. The 
subject/object as SOMMMMMMMMM is what the MOQ replaces. 

Romantic/Classic ... well one clearly sees the dynamic/static 
connotations here, but Pirsig regarded it not clear enough.

Andre:

But don't all these have Dynamic/Static connotations? Which is my 
point. There can only variations of the dynamic/static dualism ... or 
else it will be variation of the subject/object one. The "innumerable" 
ways the Reality=Quality can be split is nonsense.
