    As soon as you say that Quality has preferences, (if you mean it
    literally, not poetically), you've already personified Quality.

    HI MSH

    Well only if you think of all agency in terms of persons.
    Pirsig makes us ask questions like do electrons prefer certain states in
    atoms?
    I suspect this makes you uncomfortable. If there is no agency in the
    emergence
    of static patterns for you then are you not just a mechanist? Without
    prefererence
    there is no quality I would suggest.
