We are in the strange situation that you seemingly defend LILA  
regarding the MOQ as an intellectual pattern (a subjective "menu" 
about Q-reality "out there"). While I defend ZAMM's 

    And finally: Phædrus, following a path that to his knowledge 
    had never been taken before in the history of Western thought, 
    went straight between the horns of the subjectivity-objectivity 
    dilemma and said Quality is neither a part of mind, nor is it a 
    part of matter. It is a third entity which is independent of the 
    two.  

"Neither part of mind ..." means just what I said; in the MOQ the 
mind/matter, subject/object or any derivatives thereof are abolished, 
this aggregate is relegated the role of its 4th. level. Thus saying that 
the MOQ is a thought has no relevance inside the MOQ.

Elementary.

Yes, Phaedrus was immersed in SOM and had to start from its 
premises and in this sense the MOQ is "out of" SOM or "out of" 
intellect because - as you say - intellect=SOM. However there is a 
turning inside-out of the metaphysical sock when Phaedrus postulates 
that SOM is "out of" Quality" (and the former called "intellect")

You alternate between the most apt considerations and nonsense. 
>From the perspective of SOM (intellect) the MOQ is another 
metaphysics in the classical Aristotelian sense "a theory about reality" 
and will remain there till kingdom comes.

The MOQ it surely is no subject/object system, but every bit as logical.

As said LILA may say that the MOQ is another "menu"*) but Phaedrus 
of ZAMM said that the menu/reality duality is S/O and part of 
"intellect"'s repertoire. The MOQ isn't removed from the logical 
chessboard (that wouldn't be more that a childish tantrum) after 
pointing out the paradoxes of the S/O premises it shows that its 
DQ/SQ premises dissolves the said paradoxes-platypis

Are you (in your newfangled academical style) saying that the MOQ 
seen from SOM looks like a subjective "theory"? In that case no 
wonder because almost all participants of this forum promotes that 
view. I.e. they haven't moved one iota out of SOM.

Regrettably 

Bo


*)PS
The menu/reality issue is related to the map/terrain one, but this post 
is too long to delve into that.
