John is harmless but his constant suggestions for new angles to Q-
intellect is a bit tiresome. To him the intellectual level is SOM's thinking 
realm - AKA "mind" - and this is of course eternally dynamic, any 
thoughts may evolve in our minds (as SOM sees it). 

Regarding the various levels' relative stability, I think is useless to 
speculate. The levels are static because they are static. But as MOQ's 
tenet goes existence's dynamic component has escaped the static 
levels in turn, just to create a new and higher - and if anything - more 
secure static "prison". And intellect is "max security", to break out of it 
lands it (intellect) as a subset of a greater system and THAT it won't 
have, and its henchmen strives to keep the MOQ an intellectual 
pattern, meaning that it can't escape regardless, the intellectual chains 
with ball follows it to the end of the world. I know I ought not say it, but 
for a "meal of lentils" (does the Biblical parable say so in English?) 
Pirsig sold his MOQ to academy (for a couple of PhDs) .
