In MoQ terms, Einstein's famous formula is a high quality static

I agree. But in MoQ terms, "Matter is just the name for certain inorganic
value patterns." (Lila, Chapter 11.)

Energy is static and predictable? Tell that to someone whose house burned
down after being struck by lightning. Some forms of energy are predictable,
others not. Pirsig hasn't left energy out of the Metaphysics of Quality.
It's called Dynamic Quality.
