[MD] Arlo's Rant and 3rd levels

If the subject is going is time, I thought this might be pertinent 
from 'The Role of Evolution, Time and Order in Pirsig's "Metaphysics 
of Quality"':

"As I understand the first paradox alleged here, the MOQ 
inconsistently states that time created the static universe and also 
states that time is not a part of the static universe. You can't have 
it both ways. The answer, I think, is that according to the 
Metaphysics of Quality, time and change did NOT act to evolve the 
static universe. Only Dynamic Quality did this. "Time" and "change" 
are primary concepts used to describe this evolution but they do not 
cause evolution any more than Newton's law of gravity causes the 
earth to stick together. Except where muscle tissue is involved, 
concepts do not push inorganic matter around."

I just have to ask, how is "Dynamic Quality" able to "do this" any more than
"time" and "change." Did Dynamic Quality exist before Pirsig made it up any
more than gravity existed before Newton?
