    mel:
    Sorry, too criptic again, my bad. Since we have all read Pirsig's
    work, his formulation of the tension between DQ and SQ within
    an evolutionary level and between the levels defines the moral
    and the immoral principles of those interactions.

    I was simply pointing out that the propositions, even with the
    substitution were still in the SOM formula and did not include
    the DQ-SQ relationship. i.e. the immorallity of SQ trying to
    dominate DQ...
