[MD] Knowledge as MOQ's intellect

[Steve Peterson]

Hi Bo,

You said to Spirit and Ian:
> I can't for the life of me figure
> out what a level is besides its value

Steve:
It's becoming more and more clear to me that you really don't know  
what a level is. I'd be happy to help if you think I could be of  
assistance.

The levels refer to types of static patterns of value. You seem to  
always refer to a level as "the value of X" as in "the value of the S/ 
O divide" or as in this case a level having a value. Nowhere does  
Pirsig describe a level as a single value. He always uses them as  
parts of a classification system for types of patterns.

Pirsig:
"In this plain of understanding static patterns of value are divided  
into
four systems: inorganic patterns, biological patterns, social  
patterns and
intellectual patterns.  They are exhaustive.  That's all there are.   
If you
construct an encyclopedia of four topics-Inorganic, Biological,  
Social and
Intellectual-nothing is left out.  No "thing," that is.  Only Dynamic
Quality, which cannot be described in any encyclopedia, is absent."


Bo:

No, the MOQ is not a level, it is a pattern of value.

Regards,
Steve
