No, I don't buy that.
Hi Marsha Sometimes in order to make the complicated a bit simpler, we start small. I mean, there are only four levels and they contain everything (except Dynamic Quality), so obviously we are using analogy here to order our understanding of reality. Theology, science, philosophy and mathematics are made up of both social and intellectual pattens. They are often cultural-specific, as Robert Pirsig points out. I hope that helps.
