Hi Bo -- In a note to Jorge, you said:
> You speak of "patterns that share some properties > with the members of one level and other properties > ...etc." something I have problems with understanding. > An organism is a biological pattern, the fact that it is > made up of matter does not mean that it shares some > properties with the inorganic level. I have some problems understanding MoQ patterns generally. So, forgive me if this sounds like a criticism, as I'm only looking for clarification. If an organism is a biological pattern that is made up of matter, which the MOQ considers "inorganic", why does the organism not share this inorganic property? An organism would be made up of minerals, like phosphorous, calcium, and carbon, for example. Logically, to the extent that it contains such inorganic matter, it shares the properties (or nature) of matter. Are you saying that because it is a "pattern" it is the intellect, rather than Nature, which constructs an organism? Is it the general concept that objects are patterns observed by the intellect only, that is to say, that they have no independent existence? If so, do the elements of chemistry and physics exist, or are they only patterns too?
