Hi Bo, Again you managed to talk for several paragraphs and never address any of tough questions. You agree with RMP that "dancing" is a social pattern of quality. That was not in dispute from the start. On one hand you claim the the only type of reasoning available to the intellect is subject/object based and yet in this case your S/O reasoning has no earthly idea what dancing might be. Sounds like at least in your case using the MoQ is regression.
