[MD] What is SOM?

Steve:
Thanks for providing a Pirsig quote. Others have provided their views of SOM. I am especially interested in determining what Pirisg himself
means by subject-object metatphysics. I don't think he uses that term until Lila. I will try to dig out some qoutes when I have time. I'd appreciate it if others could try to do the same. 

Regards,
Steve
