Hello forum,
The idea that the 4th level may be renamed the
autonomous level has been put forward. It may have
been Mike? I agree with the line of thought, no poblem
there, but i'm not happy with the conclusion, as i'll
explain.
The thing is, it may be better to regard the 4th level
as the 'More autonomous' level, which begs the
question.
Autonomy in the MOQ is freedom from sq.
What is freedom from sq?
DQ
What makes the 4th level more free from sq?
Intellectual values make the 4th level more free from
sq.
Why are intellectual values more free from sq?
Intellectual patterns of sq can evolve into more
Dynamic relationships than social patterns of sq.
Why can Intellectual patterns of sq evolve more
Dynamic relationships?
Intellectual values are symbolic manipulations of a
higher order of complexity/coherence than social
linguistic symbolic manipulations (for example)
Thus, the 4th level is more Dynamic than the social
level.
Therefore, the 4th level is more autonomous than the
social level.
However, the 3rd level less autonomous than the 4th
level.
The 3rd level is autonomous in that it is more free
from sq than the 2nd level.
I think the 4th level is appropriately termed the
Intellectual level.
Mark
