Hey Bo,

Pirsig makes the point (LC Note 50) that higher mathematics and 
computer languages, which are not structured into subjects-objects 
(SOM), would not have a "home" unless part of the MOQ's intellectual 
level. 

As I understand your position, the intellectual level is the level of 
subject-objects or SOM. So where in your interpretation would you put 
such non-SOM intellectual systems as computer languages and higher 
mathematics?

In other words, how do you answer Pirsig's need to find a "home" for 
these "intellectual" inventions?  

Thanks.

Platt
