Platt:

Being mathematically challenged I find it hard to relate to your 
explanation. I'll take your word for it. But can't mathematics take off on 
purposes of its own that don't "represent reality?" If so, I would say it's 
relationship to reality (nature) is coincidental rather than 
representational.

Ron:
Well yes Platt, you highlight one problem with SOM (as I defined it), as
 the intellectual level rather well. Which is what I'm driving at.
This belief accurately characterizes what we call SOM today
and to consider it the intellectual level, brings with it the problems
you have stated.
