I have two views.

1.  MoQ as Quality(unpatterned experience/patterned experience) - no explanation.   

2.  Intellectual Level - intellectual explanation as:

          Within the MoQ, fourth level, the Intellectual Level, is comprised of intellectual 
          static patterns of value. 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.

 
If you don't understand, that's okay.  I am still going to pursue my present interpretation.
