Addendum to Marsha's hard question:

Marsha had said:'Now is it the case that one will fall off the Earth if 
one explores beyond "repeated arrangements" or "stable configurations" 
or "steady structures"?

Andre:
It only is a case of falling 'of the Earth' if one operates from a SOM 
perspective and your question, from that perspective, confirms your idea 
(conform to Bodvar Skutvik) that the intellectual level IS SOM.

By giving us a five(!) sentence paragraph of a simple and elegant notion 
set down as  'repeated arrangement' (put forward by Anthony) suggests to 
me that YOU are the one reifying/objectifying these simple two words by 
demanding an ever expanding definition to, and in the end, incorporating 
and attempting to encapsulating all the varieties and possibilities that 
are present within and without that configuration that you get 
hopelessly lost in.

Because it simply cannot be done. And you know that! This is the 
intellectual trap you are into.

It realy smacks of post (de)constructionist post-modernism to me which, 
as far as I am concerned is not very modern and very destructive.

You are continually trying to slither your way out of tight situations. 
I have suggested numerous ways and provided examples of this occurring 
and this is just another one of those. By giving a five-sentence 
definition instead of a two-word one you give yourself a means of 
escape...to slither away behind every word in your five sentence 
definition because , if someone questions you about any part, you demand 
a definition of the part YOU included in YOUR definition. See how you do 
this Marsha?! It is not very fair. It is not very intellectual and it 
certainly is not very honest. And, what's more, this is the way every 
pseudo-philosophy works nowadays, spending endless amounts of energy and 
(stale) ideas producing them through endless amounts of written ink on 
forest's amounts of woodpulp ending up in circles upon circles of 
read/unread and accumulated wastepaper. Phaedrus presented us with a few 
of these examples and you continue them.

You say you have but I simply cannot believe you have read LILA.

Please go on with your mindfulness and leave discussing MOQ to others okay?
