Pattern Transmission Classes:
A Temporal Perspective
This "Perspective Ordering of Pattern
Transmission Classes" constitutes a a hierarchical ordering scheme based
on temporal factors. This differentiates it from the more common
classification schemes of the "Arbor Porphyricus" kind as described in Dahlberg
(1974) and Eco (1993: 233, 229-298). The ordering principle is according to the
time axis and speed and variability of transmission. Thus the academic "kind of
knowledge" on top of the pyramid is embedded in the more general class of
cultural transmissions of humans, which is furthermore embedded in the
behavioral transmission of animals, which is again embedded in the phylogenetic
transmission of organisms.
