Hi All,
Questions:
How is ZAMM's Quality as pre-intellectual awareness related to Lila's
Dynamic Quality leaving static patterns in its wake?
Are they the same? Is Pirsig using the term "intellectual" in the same
sense as he does when he discusses intellectual patterns?
Perhaps "unpatterned awareness" would make a good substitute for
"pre-intellectual awareness," otherwise it would seem that all patterns are
intellectual by equating dynamic/static with pre-intellectual/intellectual.
What do you think?
Recently I said, "To infer patterns of any kind, one must rise to the
intellectual level since inferences are intellectual constructs." Platt
agreed, DM disagreed. I think the disagreement concerned an implication
that all patterns are intellectual. My use of "inference" implies symbolic
representation of patterns so I stand by my original statement.
I've been working with the definition of "pattern" as "perceptual structure"
where structure could refer to inorganic, biological, social, or
intellectual structure.
Does anyone have a better definition of "pattern"? One problem I see with
"perceptual structure" as an MOQ definition is that it implies an S/O
relationship of a perceiver and that which is perceived. Is pattern an
inherently S/O term?
Thanks,
Steve
