Hi dmb,
Is this Dynamic which you speak of Dynamic Quality?

> Before philosophy was born in ancient Greece only the gods were eternal. As philosophy was first forming, one of the main questions asked what was eternal in the affairs of mortals. That's when guys like Plato started inventing the eternal fixed Forms, one of which was the Form of the Good. This is Pirsig's central complaint and his main task is to undo that encapsulation and subordination of Quality, to remove the fixity and rigidity and changelessness that Plato imposed on it and reassert the primacy of the experiential flux as it is felt and lived.
