Hi Andre,

What I meant by transconceptual is knowledge beyond definition, 
beyond words, "undifferentiated without conceptual distinctions." It refers 
to our meta-sense, a higher form of understanding that recognizes the 
beauty of the Parthenon and the truth of Godel's Theorem, a tuning fork 
in the brain than hums when we stumble upon something of 
exceptionally high quality -- like the MOQ..
