Obviously, Ham didn't write this.  I found it in Ant's thesis.


>"As Pirsig rejects both mind-substance (i.e. the 'ghost') and
>matter-substance (i.e. the machine) oriented ontologies of the world,
>he employs one underpinned by value based events.  Quality is
>considered the source of subjects and objects and can be regarded as
>a Dynamic event (1995a,p.12); an 'event at which the subject becomes
>aware of the object.'  (ZMM, 1974a, p.239)   These Quality events (or
>processes), therefore, obtain the status as the fundamental units or
>'primitives' of the universe and provide a unity between the observer
>and the observed; knowing mind and object.  In this respect, the MOQ
>is supported by Whitehead's work which also recognizes that the
>universe is better described in terms of Dynamic events of experience'."
