[Krimel]
The intellectual level is hard to deal with because all of the patterns on
the other levels can be encoded expressed and decoded to into it. So while a
materialist might claim that all of the other levels are offshoots from
inorganic patterns; an idealist can claim that the intellectual level
contains all of the lower levels expressed as signs and qualia.
Ron:
Right, so when Pirsig stated MoQ falls in the class of philosophical idealism
we can surmise the sort of interpretation he intends.
Krimel]
Crap, while thinking about this I realized yet another problem with the
whole concept of levels. dmb says and I agree that Pirsig is a Heraclytain
and yet his claim that the "levels" are discrete is in direct contradiction
to this.
Ron:
Not after having stated above that Pirsig is in the philosophic idealism
camp, experience is continuos in flux and everchanging, its distinctions
are discrete and the levels are distinctions.
