    JohnnyI don't think we should say we have "replaced" SOM with the MoQ, we
    have
    just shown that SOM is not the final, true description of reality but rather
    a high quality pattern within the the final true description of reality.

    DM: I agree with this, but then you go on to throw
    too much of a lifeline to SOM, I would say that SOM
    has been great for a certain sort of science, technology,
    control but is very poor for life and could be shrunk into
    very specialist use. If you fancy reading my book/novel with
    my own anti-SOM approach in it send me an email.
