Coupled with my reading of "From Knowledge to Wisdom" by Nicholas Maxwell and he cleaned up all my misunderstanding of "depend" and "discrete" Basically he said something like the upper level always depends on the patterns and laws of the lower but the upper levels laws are discrete in that they never apply to the lower. Duh. But much more importantly the whole book now that I'm in to it a bit is his attempt (quite apart from the MoQ although ZaMM does get two mentions) to answer just the questions about the intellectual level I ask above. According to him it is a much deeper and more difficult question than I or any of us here have imagined. So it is no wonder why you, I, Bo, RMP all have a different opinion of what should rise to the intellectual level. The problem according to him is in the empirical method itself.
