The intellectual level in the MoQ has evolved a repertoire of static quality intellectual patterns.
The sum total of the repertoire is evolving in an event stream, or DQ.
The evolution of the static repertoire is towards greater coherence with DQ.
The important point to note is this view is not a Substance metaphysics.
It is a Process metaphysics.
There can be no Subjects or Objects in a process metaphysics, which correspond exactly to Subjects and Objects as described in a Substance metaphysics, because all processes merge and evolve simultaneously in the event stream.
Differentiation's in language are convenient inventions of the intellect, and Substance is one such invention of the intellect which has solidified differentiation into an unnecessarily and unhelpful aspect of our mythos.
However, this convention, being an unhelpful and unnecessary invention of the intellect, is free to be modified or abandoned for a better invention - and that alternative invention already existed before Substance metaphysics, continued to be developed since the emergence of Substance metaphysics, and may be explored afresh today.
Thus, we can see inventions of the intellect are there to be chosen on the basis of value, and should not be mistaken for intellect itself.
joe: Phaedrus listened to the chairman's: "TRAP! He's using the dialogue to prove the holiness of reason.....Phaedrus says, 'All this is just an analogy.'" (p. 388) "Rhetoric, 1: Dialectic, 0." (p. 389) "As best I know, Aristotle's opinion is that dialectic comes before everything else.....Rhetoric, 2; Dialectic, 0." (p. 390)
IMO One student hears and rebels against the analogous mythos. Another student hears and accepts the analogous mythos.
What a wonder when you write, Mark, "It is a Process metaphysics."! Questions about the process: is it an instinctive sensing of reality? Does the 'sweet spot' represent a harmony of different melodies?
