SA: Chris, what you might not know, or you may, I
don't know, is that the levels do get better morally.
Each level is good. Each level is quality. Yet,
morally, the levels get better from inorganic to
intellectual, and sometimes it seems Bo relegates a
pattern to a lower level to keep his SOL
interpretation better than the rest. Bo confines the
intellectual level to mean one event, the S/O
distinction event. Yet, I do have a question for you
Bo, if you may. You have mentioned that the S/O
intellect can be reguarded as not a split, but as
integrated or something - I can't remember the exact
wording. So, do you see the intellect performing two
duties? One of splitting s/o and one of integrating
s/o, and if so, then wouldn't this defining of s/o be
different in respect to performance enacted?

SA:
Chris, the SOL interpretation is just about what the
identity of the intellect is. This "depending on what
level is the dominant" and such is Pirsig's original
moq. I don't know if "dominant" is a proper way to
put it. I would probably say the level is a certain
pattern of value. The brain can be biological, and
the other levels, too. It does depend on the what
patterns are being referred to, and such.
