I still have to argue this point because I believe that the social behavior
will go from the specific to the general to the creation of principles. This
is an Intellectual ordering of social rules and behaviors.
I again think of the computer analogy where the software is overlaid and
coming out of the hardware. I'm sure the Intellectual patterns are definately
bounded by the limitations of the Social Patterns, but it is a later and
defining outgrowth. Again, the Intellectual Patterns are telling us which
Social Patterns have the most quality.</PRE></HTML>
