Hi Chris,

you soaid:

Steve:
That is the whole point of Pirsig using the characters of Lila, Rigel, and Phaedrus. They each represent a level of value patterns and they definitely saw things differently.

I would just coment that I don't think we can say which type of pattern dominates a specific person. How can you say that any type of pattern dominates anyone more than inorganic patterns?

I do think you can talk about the relative dominance of different types of vale patterns. Rigel was certainly more dominated by social patterns than Phaedrus was.

Regards,
Steve
