It places the conceptually unknown within the moral hierarchy. Otherwise DQ has
no home.

[Ron]
Thats our explanation ?

[Arlo]
DQ cannot be contained, I think that's one of Pirsig's points.

"But in addition there's a Dynamic good that is outside of any culture, that
cannot be contained by any system of precepts, but has to be continually
rediscovered..." (LILA)

"But Dynamic Quality is not structured and yet it is not chaotic. It is value
that cannot be contained by static patterns." (LILA)

What "home" does DQ have in Pirsig's metaphysics? "[S]tatic and Dynamic Quality
[are] the fundamental division of the world." (LILA)

Or more descriptive, "The Metaphysics of Quality says there are not just two
codes of morals, there are actually five: inorganic-chaotic,
biological-inorganic, social-biological, intellectual-social, and
Dynamic-static." (LILA)
