Hi Angus:
Here is my vote for the organizing forces of the four levels:
Inorganic: Energy & Entropy
Biological: Sex & Survival
Social: Fame & Fortune
Intellectual: Measurement & Number
Conflicts between levels: The driving force of history.
Penetrating all levels: The evolutionary moral force of Dynamic Quality.
I assume the first three level forces are self-explanatory. The
intellectual level forces of Measurement & Number are chosen
because they represent the key attributes of the scientific realm which
not only relies on the S-O split but reinforces it with each advancement
in knowledge. (Ex. human cloning)
