Hi 3WD, Erin, Platt, Bodvar and all,

(Marco, David B. - I still have to get back to you on the self/selfless
awareness)

3WD
<<<If in a commonsense way the moral systems of the MoQ are:
inorganic ='s "laws of nature"
organic ='s "laws of the jungle"
social ='s "the law"
intellectual = [Blank]

Why did Pirsig not tie some name like these to this level? Or did he
somewhere and I miss it? But if he didn't what are some of the
possibilities? The best candidate?
>>>

My suggestion is:
    intellectual ='s "the laws of laws"

That would capture the self-referential aspect of intellect
(the camera pointing at the same screen where it displays the image it
records).
It also indicates that intellect is about the laws of ALL the other
levels, which is what sets it apart.

Jonathan
