Right, intellect as SOM requires the MOQ to be beyond intellect, but 
Jeez isn't it plain that intellect is a MOQ level, not the other way round, 
the MOQ contained inside as subset of its own which violates Pirsig's 
own "container logic" and every logic there is.

For instance, where is SOM in SOM? It's the invisible "crystal sphere" 
that all somists lives inside. Right now as the MOQ strives to establish 
itself, it is most visible, but imagine a future when the Quality Reality 
has become established, then IT will turn into the invisible "crystal 
sphere" people live inside.    

It must be great not hampered by logic
