27 July you gave a lecture about "stacks"

I have no comment except that the stack idea is included in the MOQ 
by the tenet about the static levels not knowing the Q context. Biology 
does not know the inorganic, as little as society knows biology. 
Knowledge is intellect's science, but its "logies" aren't the Q-levels so I 
don't know what tool the "stack" concept can be, the Q context is only 
seen from the MOQ and there the said phenomenon is already known.

If you by " SOL people" mean the strong interpreters we do not have 
any "human perspective" at all. The fact that the human organism was 
the carrier of the social level and thus is included in the "stack" under 
the intellectual level does not count. You are right about the intellectual 
level - from inside itself -   is "the universal stack", but the strong 
interpretation says  that intellect from the MOQ seen is the SOM, i.e. 
the universal perspective (the object) AND the human perspective (the 
subject). So, FYI, it's not the intellectual level that subsumes SOM, it's 
the MOQ that subsumes it by making it is own intellectual level.

Both the universal stack and human stack. The social level knows no 
such dualism .... nor does the MOQ .. principally, but a moqists can 
also be intellectual, social, biological.

Yes, it's always a relief to meet like-minded ;-)

But dear Magnus, "examining the levels" in a scientific sense is not 
MOQ's business, science examines physics, biology, sociology and  
psychology, but none of these correspond to the Q-levels. The MOQ 
merely says that there are these levels and how their relationships are 
Again, inorganic quality has nothing to do with SOM's inorganic ...etc.  
until the most important point is reached: INTELLECTUAL QUALITY 
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOM's INTELLECT!

Talking about the stacks, ....hmmm, i like stacks, but if we are to talk in stack terminology
we cannot avoid the inevitable "STACK_DUMP_OVERFLOW",.....
pay attention to the underscores.
