Bo,

I shall scan said material and email to you.

To see the animation I did just click on this URL:

http://www.quantonics.com/Level%204%20QTO%20SOM%20to%20sVo%20to%20SOQ.html

The file is about 300 kb, so it takes about 2 minutes to download at
28.2kbaud. However, the file is a GIF89A, thus it is interlaced and the
animation will start before the whole download is complete.

Enjoy!

See if this animation relates to your SOM as intellect of MoQ idea. If
not, let me know, and I shall render my thoughts if that would be
helpful.

Mtty,

Doug Renselle.

"Now, we daily see what science is doing for us.  This could not be
unless it taught us something about reality; the aim of science is not
things themselves, as the dogmatists in their simplicity imagine, but
the relations between things; outside those relations there is no
reality knowable."

By Henri Poincaré, in 'Science and Hypothesis,' p. xxiv, translated from French in 1905 by J. Larmor, published 1952 by Dover Publications.
