    My objection does not have to do with definitions. It is instead that Pirsig
    does not distinguish between thinking and thoughts, but lumps them both
    under the heading SQ. I consider thinking to be, at least potentially, the
    creation of static patterns, not itself a static pattern. Likewise, I see
    the mind as a locus of DQ/SQ interplay, again, not as just SQ. (Oops, I
    forgot I'm not trying to fix the MOQ anymore. Lop off the Q's :-).
