Social patterns don't have morality as an attribute either.  They are driven
by morality, they model upon it, but morality certainly isn't social.  I
assumed you'd read the books? Therein you'll find that the  universe as a
moral order is a high Quality idea.  Morality as derived from the social
order is how the Victorians viewed it.  We don't sing that song in these
parts.

I don't like "in spite of".  in spite of's are nasty ans spiteful sounding.

moral process.  Or rather, thee moral process.  Society is _a_ moral
process.
