Well they don't understand me at least ;-)

The value of the intellectual level the S/O, but maybe not the
whole of intellect??????? I don't get that. It's like saying that
biological value is life, but maybe there's more to biology than
life. There is ONE value to one level, that's whole idea with
levels. Countless sub-patterns naturally, but they are just variants
of the root value.

Again the intellectual level as "thinking". Is there anything less
static and more dynamic than that? Even Pirsig has rejected
thinking as definition for the STATIC intellectual level. (write
"static" hundred times on your blackboard!) And then this
pompous term "mathematics" as if we are to prostrate ourselves
in front of it. It's just another form of calculation? And does not
2+2 require thinking? You too seem to have fallen into the
intelligence pit, or maybe never been out of it.
Most friendly but I can't resist a bit sarcasm.
