Dynamic Quality's moral right to impose Static Quality changes with duty to:
Ÿ Impose incremental change on Static Quality's four levels of Static Patterns of Value,
Ÿ Under extreme conditions change Static Quality massively and unilaterally, and
Ÿ Balance Dynamic and Static rates of change toward Better.
Static Quality's moral right to resist Dynamic Quality changes with duty to
:
Ÿ Protect MoQ's four levels of Static Patterns of Value,
Ÿ Improve MoQ's four levels of Static Patterns of Value,
Ÿ Resist damaging changes imposed by Dynamic Quality,
Ÿ Abide mandated changes from Dynamic Quality, and
Ÿ Balance Dynamic and Static rates of change toward Better.
Four SQ Levels of SPoVs:

 Static Quality
- MoQ Defines Static Quality as four following levels:

 Static Pattern of Value
Level 1

 Intellectual
Intellectual: Invents next higher TBD Value;
Values preconditions Social.

Moral right of Intellect to be free from Society control:

Ÿ Democracy,
Ÿ Trial by jury, ð(re: MoQ's many, not SOM's one truth)
Ÿ Habeas corpus (protection from unlawful detention),
Ÿ Government by consent, but with
Ÿ Duty to protect Intellect,
Ÿ Duty to dynamically improve and preserve Society, and
Ÿ Duty to know and distinguish among MoQ, SOM, and Relativism duty to know MoQ's credo.

Static Pattern of Value
Level 2

 Social
Social: Invents first Intellectual Value;
Values preconditions Biological.

Ÿ Freedom from static Biological patterns,
Ÿ Freedom from physical and property violence,
Ÿ Freedom from emotional violence,
Ÿ Freedom from sexual violence,
Ÿ Freedom from sexual harassment,
Ÿ Freedom from vice and corruption, but with
Ÿ Duty to protect Society, and

Moral right of Biology to be free from Inorganic control:
Ÿ Freedom to evolve, emerge, and grow,
Ÿ Freedom from static Inorganic patterns,
Ÿ Freedom from death (e.g., a life-death continuum),
Ÿ Freedom from gravity (e.g., free to peregrinate),
Ÿ Freedom from duplication, but with
Ÿ Duty to protect Biology, and
Ÿ Dynamically improve and preserve Inorganics.

Moral right of Inorganics to be free from Chaotic control:
Ÿ Freedom to evolve, emerge, and grow,
Ÿ Freedom from static Chaotic patterns,
Ÿ Freedom to catalyze,
Ÿ Freedom from equilibrium and dissipative entropy,
Ÿ Freedom from locality and isolation, but with
Ÿ Duty to protect Inorganics, and
Ÿ Dynamically improve and preserve Chaos.
Note: Doug Renselle prefers to call this level 'Quantum,' but to preserve Pirsig's original terminology we kept his word, 'Chaos.'

 Chaos
Chaos: Invents first Inorganic Value;
Values preconditions Dynamic Quality.
