    Steve:
    I had a similar thought. Perhaps an appropriate analogy would be to think
    of the patterns we call intellectual as waves in a sea of social patterns
    which are waves in a sea of biological patterns, and so on, deeper and
    deeper into the unfathomable sea of Quality.

    Thanks,
    Steve
