This might be a first, but I agree with you on that Ham. The MoQ isn't
alone on this, it's mostly common sense if you think about it. And I can
imagine that this isthe case for many other areas of the MoQ. And this
is not a bad thing, it probably just make it easier for outsiders to
understand it.
For example, in my essay "The levels undressed", I argue that the MoQ
levels can be mapped to different scientific fields, like physics,
chemistry, biology, etc. That's a strength! Then it can use the level
ladder to connect the dots *between* those, otherwise very separate,
fields of research. I mean, is it really feasible that mankind have
separated those scientific fields of research for so long (ok, I guess
it really isn't *that* long, but anyway), without good reason? Why would
everybody agree that physics, chemistry and biology are different, if
they metaphysically aren't?
