You said it yourself, experience is Quality which creates static
patterns of value.
*Not* the other way around. You also use the word 'experience' both as a
noun
and a verb, which helps to create the platypus. By using it as a verb
you assume
that the atom existed before it was created by "it's" experience. Pirsig
deals with
this causation platypus in Lila, chapter 8.
What's equally important, remember that substance is another major
platypi
removed by MoQ. Everything we call substance is nothing without
experience. The only way we can describe substance is by describing how
we experience it. *Then* we invent this model we call substance to fit
it into
the SOM framework. (Lila, same chapter)
