Your right that if Pirsig box scheme was rotated so that the levels were
vertical and oriented with inorganic on the left it would keep Pirsig's
subject/object split intact but it would not completely jive with
Wilbur's diagram.
But my concern with it and why I think it is better as portrayed, is
that while Pirsig maintains that the upper two levels are exclusively
human this contradicts the some of the very tenets of the MoQ. If all
patterns of value are evolving toward dynamic quality and higher static
levels, as humans have, then it stand to reason that at some point in
the future some pattern, other than human, will cross the
biological/social divide. When and if this happens the MoQ is not
structured to handle it. It is in this fashion self contradictory.
