Yeah, DQ is definitely not non-existent.  It is all there is ultimately.
That static stuff is what's temporary.  

Evolving.  I think Pirsig models his static hierarchy off biological
evolution.  It evolves in response to the highest Quality solution at the
time.  I would be uncomfortable with saying it is evolving with 'purpose'.
