     Since above, Pheadrus says "Quality is neither a
part of mind, nor is it a part of matter... is
independent of the two." how does "Quality... belong
somewhere in its S/O matrix."  Quality is independent
according to the quote, not "belong(ing)".

     Yet, what of intellectualizing dynamic quality. 
Sure this intellectualization would be static
patterns, but talking about dq, wouldn't that be
another intellectual event.  This kind of intellectual
event isn't S/O divided.  This is an intellectual
event without the divide.  Might this be the
'excellence' you are going to talk about, the pre or
proto-SOM.  This would have intellect involved with
diverse intellectualizing events.
