The current choices for filling in the intellectual [Blank]
Erin-[the laws of freedom] in which the ideal was " to be free and independent"
Jonathan- [the laws of laws]-"That would capture the self-referential
aspect of intellect."
Platt-[logical consistency or math and logic]- "The fourth level of
intellect is based on the inflexible laws of math."
Marco-[Human Rights] are the set of laws the intellectual patterns have
invented to keep at bay social patterns.
3WD- [the philosopy of laws] - to include "the laws of logic", "the
laws of freedom", "the laws of truth", "the laws of good" including "the
laws of levels"
Wim-[Ethics]-"which underpins human rights and duties"
Scott-[Reason]-"which in this context I look on as the ability to
consciously create laws, hence it is about freedom."
Rog-[rules of logic]
Horse-[Reason]-"Reason creates order and reason creates the other levels
as greater ordering."
I'll float one more based on the patterns I see developing here.
The intellect ='s "the laws of patterns". or "the laws of values"
What the intellectual level "ought to do", its duty, its moral
responsiblity to itself and the whole is; using reason, logic,
intuition, ethics, and any other of its capabilities, continually
identify patterns, the laws governing those patterns of value at all
levels, and the relationships of these values to each other. And
direct the use of that information for the greater good of all levels.
Principle of these 'greater goods' is freedom.
Convoluted, but I think it covers all the bases covered in the
suggestions. English majors feel free to clean it up if you like.
