[MD] A fly in the MOQ ointment

Ron:
So to get this straight, what defines the SOL interpretations intellectual level is:

1: Academic systemization

2: Atheism

we agreed previously on:

3: The belief "that the principles of mathematics are the principles of all things."

(but now it is called into question by your assertions on mathematics)

I would agree that your interpretation has it's greatest meaning of begining
and first principle of being in relation to Rene Descarte. In his
 "Passions of the Soul" and "The Description of the Human Body "
in particular to your s/o arguement as it applies to an atheistic approach.

It is remarkable how most of the influentual philosophers of this time
period are and continue to be today, mathematicians as Rene is.
(which supports #3 in my opinion)

This leaves #3 as the sole attribute of the distnction of SOM in your
opinion  The belief "that the principles of mathematics are the principles 
of all things." for to believe this is to forsake all explaination concerning Gods
and exhaults mathematical explainations over any other. Agree?

Academic systemization can be traced back to the Pythagoreans, so it supports
your assertion that it began in ancient Greece but it did not formally shed it's theistic
 philosphical explainations until Descartes. 
so we are still left with the primacy of the defining SOM statement :
The belief "that the principles of mathematics are the principles of all things."
for it embodies atheism, s/o dualism, essentialism and philosophic realism.
