[MD] Free Will

[Steven Peterson]

Hi Marsha,
 When Pirsig says, A causes be can be thought of as B values
precondition A. I added that there is nothing more to B (whatever the
collection pattern being thought about)
 than such preferences since preference is another word value and
since in the MOQ everything identifiable is thought of as a pattern of
value or collection of patterns.

Best,
Steve
