Steve: I'm not sure what your quote of me was referring to, and I'm not sure what you are objecting to other than my word choice. I think I took this use of "substance" from Northrop when he was describing Locke's philosophy. Call it what you want. How many thoughts fit in a shot glass or how many shot glasses fit in a thought? The point is, in SOM terms they are different universes with no connection while the MOQ is able to relate them in a static hierarchy by demonstrating the two connecting terms of biological and social patterns. [Krimel] I was merely checking to see if you buy this notion of mental substance or disembodied consciousness. James would say no, that mental events arise from physical substance. There is a long history of attempts to validate James ideas here. I do not think this is unique to the MoQ.
