In my Q'm" system, the only patterns that can be disharmonius with reality or
nature are intellectual patterns.

[Arlo]
So inorganic, biological and social patterns are never able to be disharmonious
with nature? 

Is this another "everything would be perfect if that stupid intellect wouldn't
get in the way"? Wonder Pirsig placed it atop his hierarchy considering how its
the only level that actually hinders "harmoniousness". 

But wait.. "intellect" is how we are able to build  "hammers". How can a
"disharmonious" pattern produce something "harmonious"?

And what about social patterns? Would you say the Third Reich was
"disharmonious" with nature? Why or why not? Or say, The Crusades? Or the
genocide against the American Indian? Were these things "harmonious" because
they were not big, bad intellectual patterns?
