3WD, Rick
Your definitions remind me of a word used in memory studies, called schema.
schema: A pattern imposed on complex reality or experience to assist in
explaining it, mediate perception, or guide response.
It has been bothering me from the beginning that we were using the word law
for the fourth level. I became okay with it by thinking of it as an internal
law. But after reading some of marco's post on individuality it started to
bother me again.
Pirsig:«Finally there's a fourth Dynamic morality which isn't a code. He
supposed you could call it a "Code of Art" or something like that , but art is
usually thought of as such a frill that that title undercuts its
importance. The morality of the Brujo in Zuni-that was Dynamic morality»
If Pirsig thought there wasn't a code for the fourth level do you think he
would have thought there was a law? If there was a law of the fourth level I
thought that it would to be something common to how everybody interprets
experience. The only thing I could come up with is memory processes. The
experiences of everbody are idiosyncratic patterns so they are still
individual but HOW memories are processed are probably universal.
So I would like to add another suggestion as the law of schemas.
