Tuukka, it was, who put me on to this solution to my problem with the 4th level as intellect. Which also solves Bo's conflict as well, but that's a side issue.  I figure today I'll just illustrate the differences between the two. 

A professor who goes to the prom and tries to intellectualize dancing, is being irrational. 

Any culture that survives for a long time, does so by virtue of the fact that it is rational. But not all successful cultures are intellectual. 

True art is always rational, pure intellectualism is never artistic. 

Rationality is analogous to analog, whereas intellect is digital. 

SOM places intellect as its highest value, and looks at itself as the only rational way of being. 

Rationality looks at intellect as a useful tool but puts  love as its highest value.
