[MD] The SOM/MOQ discrepancy.

We miss most of Cetation reality.

Great post, can't think of a single disagreement I'd have with it.

To expand a bit, this notion of experiential reality ties directly 
into the "boundedness" I speak of regarding the shape our responses 
to DQ may take. Our biological boundedness, and the whale's, both 
affords and constrains this repertoire of activity. Within social 
theory, Giddens has fashioned the dual enable-constrain (in Gidden's 
theory its agency-structure) tension of these contexts as 
"structuration", but I think the general metaphor applies to all the 
MOQ's levels. "Agency" is made possible the very structure that, in 
turn, constrains the range of activity it bestows.
