I think what's missing here is the evolutionary relationship between the static levels. The progression isn't to split DQ/SQ then Mind/ matter then mind into social and intellectual. After DQ/SQ he splits sq into an evolutionary hierarchy that starts with inorganic to biological to social to intellectual. Then he looks back and sees that mind/matter still fits pretty nicely in this scheme. > No answer from Steve yet. Can you repeat the question.
