Hi Craig
As far as I'm aware bees and prairie dogs don't employ architects,
obtain building permission, employ bricklayers, plumbers etc.
Building a house or the construction of a housing estate here in the UK
involves all of this and is part of a social pattern.

Nope. IMHO this misses Pirsig's insight into the social level.
Just as a beehive or network of prairie dog burrows is not a social level
pattern, building a house or group of houses is not a social pattern, even if
done in co-operation with other humans.
Nor is human behaviour to stay warm and protected social, rather than
biological.
Only the building of a social institution should count as social, e.g.,
ownership laws, legal liability, etc.
