I recognize the difficulty in this "SOM-as- MOQ's 4th level/SOM-as-MOQ's-antagonist" juggling. The known/unknown as part of intellect's repertoire, but not in the sense of unknown=subjective and known=objective, merely as "knowledge". I think the S/O split isn't merely "unconscious" but completely absent at the social level, why it (social value) was regarded as Quality itself by ZAMM (the Aretê that SOM =intellect ousted from the scene) > From the MoQ perspective, Reality = Quality(DQ(unpatterned > experience)/sq(patterned experience(inorganic, biological, social, > intellectual & code of art))).

Static patterns as interrelated, "yes", but ever-changing and impermanent" ... hmmm. "Static" means never changing - not having the capacity for change until DQ prods it. I would say the static levels and patterns are "incomplete" compared to the DQ/SQ which is the complete configuration. Bodvar ? ?
