    I agitated to change the intellectual level to the individual level to
    emphasize that intellect is limited to individuals, one individual at a
    time. There's no such thing as group or social intellect. I had other
    reasons, too, but wasn't able to sell anyone on making the change. So I've
    dropped it. The Code of Art level was hinted at by Pirsig. I think it will
    be the next evolutionary step, but unfortunately I won't be around to see
    it. Maybe one of my paintings will survive long enough to be a part of it.

    Best,
    Platt
