Hi Bo,

Just feeling the need to reaffirm my agreement with you that the Intellectual 
Level is  comprised of intellectual patterns as SOM and represent reified
concepts and the rules for their manipulation.  Intellectual patterns create 
false boundaries, giving the illusion of independence, or thingness. For me
understand this fourth level to represent a formalized subject/object level 
where the subjective is supposedly stripped from the experience to reveal 
an objective truth. 

"The question of "How do you justify the statement that Quality 
equals reality?" was the best one. The correct answer from a 
MOQ perspective is, "by the harmony it produces", but this 
answer is only for people who already understand the MOQ. 
Those who don't can't see the harmony and for them this 
answer is meaningless."
   (Pirsig, 2000)  
 
I do think your point-of-view is more harmonious than the bits and pieces
presented by many of the others.
