A glib reply is that both are inorganic, the paper of a map is "dead"
organic material and the ink ?? The terrain is surely inorganic.
> How about a pattern not being either a subject or an object?
Such a pattern is either inorganic, biological or social because all
intellectual patterns are S/O.
This reminds me of the Medieval Conciles discussing number of
angels on pinpoints. Let's not bring the MOQ down to that "level".
Greetings Bo,
To me a pattern is a conventional, conceptual construct. It is an
analogue, experience, generality and expectation. Patterns are
interrelated and interconnected and therefore your definition of the
map pattern and terrain pattern is incomplete. - I do not accept a
subject/object dichotomy. I do, though, wonder why you can't get
past it.
What does your Medieval Conciles comment have to do with
anything? Are you trying to pump up your authority with such a
comment? And why should you determine the correct course of this discussion?
