Hi Bo, You said to Spirit and Ian: > I can't for the life of me figure > out what a level is besides its value
Steve: It's becoming more and more clear to me that you really don't know what a level is. I'd be happy to help if you think I could be of assistance. The levels refer to types of static patterns of value. You seem to always refer to a level as "the value of X" as in "the value of the S/ O divide" or as in this case a level having a value. Nowhere does Pirsig describe a level as a single value. He always uses them as parts of a classification system for types of patterns. Pirsig: "In this plain of understanding static patterns of value are divided into four systems: inorganic patterns, biological patterns, social patterns and intellectual patterns. They are exhaustive. That's all there are. If you construct an encyclopedia of four topics-Inorganic, Biological, Social and Intellectual-nothing is left out. No "thing," that is. Only Dynamic Quality, which cannot be described in any encyclopedia, is absent." Bo: > Yet, the MOQ is no static level it just reveals > the Quality context. No, the MOQ is not a level, it is a pattern of value.
