Hi John,

To start with it might be best to forget what it "ought to be" and 
discuss what it is.  How does it function now? Once that is understood 
we might decide it should move towards something more like Royce 
and Sill dreamed of it.  They did use pretty words.  

I would like to hear what you might have to say about the function 
of the Intellectual level now.
