But as a solution to the mind-matter-problem this is a rhetorical one, 

since Quality is an undefined concept. The mind-matter problem is a 

dialectical problem. Feel free to find Pirsig's MOQ to solve that 

problem for you if it was a rhetorical solution you were looking for in 

the first place. Usually, however, a dialectical solution would've been 

sought for, such as the one provided by the AMOQ.

In Lila Quality isn’t just an undefined concept. It is broken up into Dynamic Quality and static quality which is defined.  The structure of the MOQ does indeed follow a logical pattern.  But that logic is based on experience and Quality not starting with dialectic for no reason and going on from there.

"Dialectic, which is the parent of logic, came itself from rhetoric. Rhetoric is in turn the child of the myths and poetry of ancient Greece. That is so historically, and that is so by any application of common sense. The poetry and the myths are the response of a prehistoric people to the universe around them made on the basis of Quality. It is Quality, not dialectic, which is the generator of everything we know."
