Activity, yes. A pattern's behavior (how it acts in the DQ stream) is what distinguishes the levels of evolution.

[Arlo]
I like that phrase, the DQ stream.

The lines could have been drawn differently. They could have been greater or fewer in number. Pirsig's levels are familiar, convenient, and hopefully useful. I'd really like to get beyond nit-picking the boundaries and talk about using the levels.

[Arlo]
Well I don't know if I'd call it "nitpicking", in the sense that I personally find looking into the boundary regions a fun and interesting endeavor. I've made the argument in the past that looking at the boundaries will tell you more about Pirsig's levels than looking in the middle.

But that doesn't belay your point. I wasn't interjecting to try to keep your discussion focused on the boundaries, I was merely commenting on something Ian said I found quite interesting. By all means, level-use ahoy!
