Many thanks for that, Glove.

Originally, DQ was represented by the colour green from the
Big Bang to the present day through out all levels.
However, when Pirsig checked it, he didn't like the
Diagram's implication of DQ expanding (through time) so he
removed it. If you notice in his own diagrams in SODV, DQ
permeates all the static levels and even goes off the page.

Mnay thanks for pointing that out. I was just to repeat
the mistake in a new academic paper I have just finished so
that will be now getting removed.

Well, I would certainly agree that by having the
"conceptually unknown" within the MOQ it helps in
understanding QM.
