  Not really. I think it would just give more credence to those that 
complain that Pirsigs MoQ is lumped in with cults and similar. You just 
need to take a look at Hubbards book on Dianetics!
Personally I can't see what's wrong with ordinary English, written well. 
Of course, we might have to spend some time defining the terminology of 
the MoQ but that's just part and parcel of writing well and with a 
particular audience in mind - i.e. ordinary and inquisitive folk who can 
read and use a dictionary in an emergency.
I think the biggest stumbling block we've had in expressing even the 
basics of the MoQ is using particular words inappropriately - and I 
would even accuse Pirsig of this as well. Atoms are not intelligent! I 
don't even think they're particularly clever.
