I give Ron credit for having understood the SOL this far, but first 
to Perella's question  which is a bit peculiar for a person who 
partakes in a MOQ discussion, but never mind.

The DQ/SQ split is MOQ's axiom (= a statement accepted as true 
without proof or argument") thus asking what it IS is futile. The 
S/O split is SOM's axiom, is has no proof, but everybody accept it 
"..hey isn't there a mind realm inside my head as different from 
the matter world outside it?" But upon closer examination it is far 
from obvious, it creates a host of paradoxes (platypis) 

The MOQ challenges SOM's matter-of-course and says that 
reality's fundamental split isn't subject/object (many variants: 
mind/matter, soul/body, mental/corporeal, cultural/natural ...etc.) 
rather dynamic/static where the former S/O is confined to its own 
static part (to the 4th. level IMO, to the whole static range 
according to Pirsig) and this arrangement dissolves SOM's 
paradoxes. 

Well, that's about all in a nutshell, but the professor will gladly 
expound. Over to Ron's objections

"Pre-intellect/Intellect" was ZAMM's first tentative split and in a 
MOQ retrospect "pre-intellect" corresponds to DQ and "intellect" 
to DQ. In the first proto-moq (whose dynamic=romantic and 
static=classic) the latter is sub-titled "intellectual" and S/O-
divided. Now, in the final MOQ DQ's first creation weren't 
"intellect", but the 4th. level should have been the S/O split, that 
way ZAMM and LILA would have been one unbroken whole.

Language is a social level pattern and as such the intellectual 
level couldn't have been present before the intellectual level. 
Even to-day there are cultures that hasn't arrived at the 
intellectual level, but they all have language.

Again and again the silly 5th. level. OK you know how to taunt 
me ;-)

"Thinking" in the intelligence sense has been with the Q-evolution 
since the biological neural network facilitated storing of 
experience, its retrieval and manipulation along logical "gates". 
The Greeks began using intelligence along the S/O pattern 
because "philosophy" necessarily is a search for objective truth, 
thus if the Orientals had their philosophical era (the Upanishads 
not Vedic) before the Greeks they also had their intellectual era. 
However they  didn't settle there (like the Occidentals) but passed 
on to a Quality-like stage.
