Values will differ from individual to individual, as Pirsig explains in his 
SODV paper:

"The reason there is a difference between individual evaluations of 
quality is that although Dynamic Quality is a constant, these static 
patterns are different for everyone because each person has a different 
static pattern of life history. Both the Dynamic Quality and the static 
patterns influence his final judgment. That is why there is some 
uniformity among individual value judgments but not complete 
uniformity."
