So what both you are saying in flurry of sand is that neither "direct
experience" nor "intellectual abstractions" have any plain English
definitions. Because once you reject SOM, SOM (plain English) words and
definitions are meaningless under the MoQ.

You're claiming Pirsig's work is LITERALLY incomparable to any other works
of philosophy, except of course by dedicated "Pirsigians" like you who
though zazen, peyote, and other self induced mystical experiences parse
their true meaning. In other words a: "Metaphysic of Insanity"
Pirsig said that somewhere. I should have listened.
