  Marsha, I think you've had more than your two posts a day regarding 
the SOL.
As a reminder to folks on this list, SOM as the Intellectual Level (SOL) 
is restricted to a maximum of two posts per day per member.
Please bear this in mind.

The way that these patterns function is as reified concepts and the rules for their rational analysis and manipulation.  Reification decontextualizes.  Intellectual patterns process from a subject/object conceptual framework creating false boundaries that give the illusion of independence as a “thing” or an “object of analysis.”  The fourth level is a formalized subject/object level (SOM), where the paramount demand is for rational, objective knowledge, which is free from the taint of any subjectivity like emotions, inclinations, fears and compulsions in order to pursue, study and research in an unbiased and rational manner.
