[MD] Re Proposed solution to SOL/Intellectual level

Pardon me for butting in Bo, but this has been bugging me....

Yeah, him and about most of western civilization...

I've been thinking about this a great deal because of the confluence of two
rivers of thinking -

One, was Magnus's refutation of levels being top driven because you'd need
something beyond the 4th......

And Scott Peck's observation that the 4th stage of development in man, the
"mystic" level he called it, was undefined.  The point is, you can't
envision any sort of upper limit because each objectification of reality,
higher quality than the last, points to more.

That leads to the idea for me in MoQ terms, that the upper limit of
intellectual formulation is indefinable.

Royce is really helping too with his logical system which takes a
convergent, infinite series and make a higher order leap to "see" in the
same way we all see that 1.999999999999 is actually two.

And how does this all tie in to DQ and it's sq formulations?  DQ is the
undefinable upper register of the 4th level intellectual process, deduced
from where the series is headed.

Voila.

Once again, it's my pleasure to clear it all up for you so neatly.
