[dmb] You can't say that reification is "interdependent with the conceptualization process" or simply "conceptualization reifies" AND also say that concepts are necessary to act in the world.
[Mary] Why not? The human brain is nothing more than the product of the evolution of Pirsig's static patterns of value. Static patterns of value interact with one another in static ways. It would be a leap to expect the static brain to function in a non-static way, would it not? Conceptualization is no doubt a high quality STATIC pattern of value. It is a useful and necessary tool for interacting with other static patterns. It does not follow that it would be necessary for it to develop transcendence. If it were even a "tendency" of the human mind to flexibly transcend the static, then DQ would not be undefined. Capisce?
