I understand your exasperation over me not seeing the obvious, 
that the MOQ is a theory which (to you) means taking place in the 
mind which (to you) is "intellect". But my constant retort is: What 
about theories - sets of ideas - that people made about reality 
BEFORE the intellectual level, were those "intellectual patterns"? 
There was such a time no? Even if the Ancients didn't have 
paper to draw on, I guess it isn't the graphics which is your point, 
an audio version of the MOQ would be as much intellect as 
different from the said "framework from where you point". Think 
about it.

PS
Our discussion about the MOQ and the Sciences I put into a new 
thread.
