Hi Dave
I'm lagging behind, not that you miss me.

Right, we are now in ZAMM at the stage that followed the Quality 
epiphany. Next came the drawing of a diagram of the new Quality-
based metaphysics which was to replace SOM and it resulted in the 
the Romantic/Classic where the former is DQ and the latter is SQ 
consisting of SOM also called INTELLECT!! 

Then came LILA where the static range had been increased as we 
know, but intellect - that so obviously was meant by Phaedrus to be 
SOM - had turned into something like the "mind" (that the MOQ had 
just rejected) of which SOM was a bad pattern - a wrong idea - and 
this sends the MOQ back into SOM  where a succession of ideas (in 
minds) have followed each other since mind grew from matter. I 
remember Paul Turner's many antics to explain away ZAMM's "moq".          

Not to give you a chance of disappearing behind you academic 
smoke-screen I leave it here.
