For Pirsig the Reality=Quality issue and proofs thereof was his

and axioms can't be proved. The proof is in the result of such a 
quality-ordered universe, and in that respect the MOQ (in its true SOL 
interpretation) is matchless. I haven't found one single weak point.

Hi Bo,
Does Quality encapsulate that which is not real?
