Let me say that I am thrilled by the quality of the discussion
of late. It is as one review of the ZMM said:.."Intellectual
entertainment of the highest order!"

My proposal of Quality as a next level is a test balloon I admit that
and I may have forgotten to let go the line when I inflated my SOTAQI
idea and am now soaring along with it...and will have a heavy fall
when someone finally punctures it. Your objection (about the
viability of a Q-level when everything is quality) is a hole, but
I'll try to patch it.
According to ZMM there reigned a kind of proto-quality "metaphysics"
before the old Greeks started to develop the growing S-O logic into
a fullfledged S-O metaphysics. In LILA this same development is
interpreted as Intellect freeing itself from it's Social origins,
i.e; looking upon the individual as intrinsically different and
more valuable than (its) society and environment.
After this enormous historically shift (proto-) quality was
forgotten, SOM reigned. So, now if Quality returns it CANNOT appear
in its old role (as a blissful 'laissez faire') After the
Intellectual detour everything is changed, the new Quality simply HAS
to grow out of Intellect - which means that S-O logic will forever be
part of reality, BUT NO LONGER REALITY ITSELF.
