Hello Jos,
You should be applauded for your creative endeavour.
Anyone who steps up to the plate and does what you are
doing should be given a big hand. Brave person!
Your table is a pretty good synthesis of Bodvar
Skutvik's SOLAQI i reckon. Well done.
The table does not accord with the Metaphysics of
Quality though.
For example, emotions are biological patterns in the
MOQ but social in the SOLAQI if i remember correctly.
Also, intellectual patterns are not restricted to
subjects and objects; these are identified by the
intellect as one among many patterns. S/O are derived
from social aspects of our culture.
I'm not clear what you mean by action?
Action, in a metaphysical sense, regards change and
change is Dynamic. Action is being used here as a
synonym for DQ.
To say that Inorganic patterns do not 'know' may not
accord with the MOQ either? In the sense that sq
patterns are stable they 'know' what to do in order to
remain stable and not become chaotic.
One thing i find very interesting about your table is
this: You have made me realise that epistemology could
be viewed as a resistance to DQ. I've not looked at it
that way before! Cheers Jos!

Hi all,
Not sure where to put this in the course of the
current debate, but I
feel
my thoughts crystallising into something that might
aid us in our quest
for
useful definitions, so here goes:
Pattern "Experience" "Knowing" Conclusion
Action
Intellectual S/O distinction Analytic Conditional
beliefs
Pursuit of synthesis
Cultural Emotion Linguistic Belief
nil
Biological Sensation Aware nil
nil
Inorganic Physical forces nil nil
nil
Essence nil/all/? nil/all/? nil/all/?
nil/all/?
In context then, I am saying that Chaos is the same as
essence and
there is
no experience there at all, being proprietary only to
static patterns
(Ham?). Inorganic patterns have experience but no
knowing, biological
patterns have experience and knowing but draw no
conlusions, cultures
have
experience, knowing and draw conclusions and only
intellectual patterns
set
out to change themselves. Trouble is that they always
fail as they are
undermined by their own experience, which blinds them
to any non
rational
outcome.
Now, rather than saying something vague like "the
intellectual level is
symbol manipulation", I can follow the table from
right to left down
the
pyramid, and say:
"The intellectual level is the pursuit of answers to
conflicting
conditional
beliefs via critical analysis of the subject object
distinctions that
are
apparent in light of belief in linguistic descriptions
of emotions that
arise from awareness of sensations brought about by
physical forces
arising
from a mysic essence".
Which can be reduced to the pleasing acronym
PACCBCASOBLDEASPFME
Modifications?
Jos
