[MD] Replacing SOM

[Krimel]

Arlo,
Merely juxtaposing fragments into an order that pleases you without any more
exposition than, "See, there!" is, as I said a post or so ago, little more
than hermeneutic augury.
All I am saying is that Quality=Tao, DQ=Yang, SQ=Yin and I have explained
why in excruciating detail. While perhaps not "blindingly" so; I do think,
at minimum, it is pretty fucking obvious.

But it is disturbing to see you adopting dmb's style of quotefesting.

[Arlo]
You've made a comment relating to term-use in his two books, and citing the
texts of the books to show how the terms easily map (in line with Pirsig's
comments) is "quotefesting"? That's more than a little absurd, but whatever.
We can have the 'text' as part of discourse conversation in another thread
another time.

I think I understand what you're trying to do, based on your "downside of
DQ" comment (albeit still unaddressed). And that is to cast DQ as "chaos"
and SQ as "order", and then since this distinction eliminates the undefined
'source' it requires you to back up and add that source, in your case simply
"Quality".  The parallels given between ZMM and LILA don't work for you, as
I see it, because you are casting Q/DQ/SQ as the Trimurti of
creator/destroyer/preserver.
