    Hi Bo and the rest,

    Just one point in here that focusses on a key problem of definition
    for me (and the reason I agree with you about the problem, but not a
    statement of its solution)

    Bo, you said.
    In the MOQ Aristotle's "rationality" isn't exactly scrapped but
    degraded from the metaphysical throne to the highest static level.

    I say
    I agree "Aristotelian Rationality" is degraded, but that it becomes
    just one SPV in the intellectual level (approximately) clearly not the
    highest for all time ever, BUT, what I say is "Rationality" per se is
    extended / improved to become the MoQ itself (approximately).

    Why leave rationality imprisoned in an ancient first attempt, let's
    not throw out rationality itself with the bathwater. I think our
    difference is again (ref Scott and Sam) just linguistic - what we are
    using "the word" rationality for, nothing more. The two approximations
    are the things I'd really like to debate, and agree terms afterwards.

    Ian
