Not a problem as I see it. Science does experimental research on static
patterns of value for the most part. Even such seemingly dynamic phenomenon
as the weather is contained within a static pattern, as chaos theory has
shown. As Pirsig pointed out in using MOQ phraseology in describing scientific
processes, "The language used to describe the data is changed but the scientific
data itself is unchanged." (Lila,8)
