Hi Dan,
It seems we have a problem.

My understanding of the MOQ (or QM as Bo prefers :-) ) has always been that
Quality, Reality, Nature, Value, Universe are all names to point to
*all-there-is*. And that the dynamic / static split is useful in order to
understand our universe. That's what I mean when I say that Quality has a
double nature... (I don't want to enter here the never ending discussion whether
this split is merely intellectual or it is also ... real).
Anyway, if you deny this point, it's like to be on two completely different
metaphysics.... a bit worrying.

p.s.
About Aristotle, I was not comparing at all Pirsig and the Big Old Greek....
The matter/form split is completely different from the Dynamic/Static split... I
just used a Greek term, that classically has always been used to mean Wholeness,
Union, Amalgamation, Entireness.
Just as example, this ancient word in still in use in the modern Greece to mean
the "total amount" in the bottom of an invoice. I don't think that all the Greek
grocers are Aristotelian for that.... :-)
