    Hello Dan and others,

    Thanks for your answers. Also being new to this list, my questions may seem
    ignorant. I have no education in philosophy, being a computer engineer with
    interest in literature and now it looks like philosophy as well. I have
    printed Bodvarıs essay The Quality Event and will read that (in Norwegian)
    as well as Anthony McWattıs Text book.
    In the answer you gave me Dan (and the previous night thinking about the
    subject) I recognize an analogy with a mathematical algorithm, where the
    outcome (shape of curve or object) of the algorithm (the components being
    social and intellectual patterns) is dependant on the values assigned to
    each of the components of the algorithm. I am not sure where this leads to,
    it just stroke me.

    Regards,
    Bart Scholten

    At the risk of ruining your reading: Lila's Child, annotation #28, RMP
    writes: "For precision, I would say a culture contains social and
    intellectual values, but not biological or inorganic." Annotation #47 reads:
    "I think a culture should be defined as social patterns plus intellectual
    patterns." So it's not that there's a level above social and intellectual
    levels but rather, according to the MOQ, those levels together can be viewed
    as culture.
