    I mostly agree with Dan here. Love cannot be defined, so it does look like DQ to us. However, my own little pet theory is that it is a fifth level. It fits rather well with Pirsig's description of a level:

    "The higher level can often be seen to be in opposition to the lower level, dominating it, controlling it where possible for its own purposes."

    Anybody recognize love in opposition to intellect? Expressions such as irrational are often used when an attempt is made to intellectualise behaviour of people in love. But at the same time it is often also described as some higher kind of good, i.e. a higher level.

    But of course, it could also simply be DQ, we have no way of intellectually knowing.
