[MD] Re-inventing the wheel.

Hi  SA 

An aside from - but touching on - the SOL-ution thread. You 
seem to have re-enacted part of Phaedrus' role in ZMM when 
confronted with the question if his Quality was subjective (an 
analogy) or objective (non-analogy). This became an analysis of 
SOM, and if accepting my proposition that SOM=Intellect, an 
analysis of intellect.
 
Your conclusion (the 21 Jan) seems to be that intellect is nothing 
but analogies.

and this is identical to the subjective horn of Phaedrus' dilemma. 
And if you would bother to read that passage in ZMM you will see 
that even if Phaedrus was able to avoid the objective (non-
analogy) horn he didn't like the other horn any better. 

By and by he goes on to understand that that Quality is the 
creator of both objectivity and subjectivity, in your terms: "...the 
creator of both analogies and non-analogies". Then the said 
proto-moq where "intellect" = the S/O divide, or in your terms: 
Intellect=the analogy/non-analogy DISTINCTION.

If you are to re-invent the wheel you must complete its circle ;-)   

IMO
