    Ant McWatt comments:

    Yes. F.S.C. Northrop's (1946-1985) concepts by intuiton (qualia) and
    concepts by postulation (Daniel Dennett, God, atoms, tables, the computer
    screen you're looking at).

    I guess Northrop's concepts could be applied to the MOQ's intellectual level
    though I think this would possibly require further clarification of what the
    MOQ intellectual level actually entails.

    My PhD thesis goes into explaining Northrop's concepts and Dennett's ideas
    on qualia etc in more detail.

    Best wishes,

    Anthony.

    P.S. Some Northrop texts:

    The Logic of the Sciences & Humanities (1947)
    The Meeting of East & East (1946)
    The Taming of the Nations (1952)
