Sorry my English... I was meaning: "My map says that when intellect
works there are already "staticities", and that those "staticities"
are not the very first things as before them there was DQ.

Of course. You map tells that intellect comes before all the static
quality.

Actually, my map tells: fifth, after DQ and something else.

I think we can close at this point. In my preface I clearly stated I was
discussing an intellectual map. So I guess you also are on this field.
Here it is definitive that we have two different maps in our hands. It's
not a very big problem, we both are going to Rome. We will meet there.

See ya
