[MD] Distinguishing Levels

[Case]

[Platt]
Looks to me like you are using static to mean unchanging and dynamic to 
mean changing. That's not what Pirsig means by static and Dynamic 
Quality. 

[Case]
Yes, kind of. I prefer to like as static and dynamic are referring to points
on a probability distribution. I think words have meaning and these are the
words Pirsig uses. If he had adopted more orthodox Taoist terms like Yin and
Yang I would have been happy with those.
 
[Platt]
Again, to you static and dynamic properties have nothing to do with 
morality. To Pirsig, dynamic and static refer to and are all about 
morality, values, Quality.

[Case]
Again, I ZMM Pirsig talks about the Tao in Lila Yin and Yang.

[Platt]
Pirsig presents a theory of everything -- the  world as a moral order. 
Raindrops are static moral patterns. And yes, in my trips to Walmart I 
see a remarkable moral order across scale and levels of abstraction.

[Case]
Then you should see the self similarity across scale to which I refer.

[Platt]
 I also think sometimes of Sam Walton, the individual whose unique idea at 
the individual level started the whole enterprise, and thank him profusely. 
 
[Case]
Yeah, right, whatever...
