Chris:

What about this: Isn't the different patterns supposed to be in conflict? I 
mean, each pattern have different ways of "responding" to quality, and as 
has been stated many many times "regard each other as immoral" how can this 
definition work if we say that the intellectual level is to look upon 
symbols as separate entities?  The way I see it, that isn't in conflict with 
anything.  I mean, one can clearly see how full fledged rationality may be 
in conflict with Social Patterns of Value, but "the ability to manipulate 
symbols"? What is that in conflict with?
