I hate to nag, but for the umpteenth time the abbreviation SOL just 
stands for the interpretation that MOQ's 4th. level is the S/O distinction 
If you have some broader theory about biological and social 
subject/object call it something else, this use of the SOL makes it 
meaningless. There were no "Greek dogs" who began to search for 
eternal principles and thereby laid the foundations for the Q-intellectual 
level. Maybe a bone of much contation ...yet ;-)    

The SUBJECT/OBJECT distinction solely pertains to the intellectual 
level and is the notion of an alleged free subject capable of unbiased 
observation of an alleged objective world. It has nothing to do with 
dogs biological sense of it's own leg different from the postman's legs. 
The SOM on the other hand is the conviction that the said S/O split is 
existence's rock bottom.

I hope that this indicates that you see the transformation that SOM 
undergoes from its former "M" glory to the 4th. Q-level where only the 
VALUE of the S/O remains

Most friendly.
