Krimel, you need to go back and reread your Pirsig.  Intellectual Patterns are not simply the sum of all patterns that have to do with thinking, the levels are patterns of value that have a purpose of their own that differs from their parent level.  If you're gonna talk Pirsig, you gotta get the rules of the game right.  This is not the same thing as taking "like" stuff and putting it all in the same box.  There's subtlety here. 

Best,
Mary
