Andre, I understand the MoQ to Quality(unpatterned experience/patterned experience). I understand static patterns one way, you understand them another. Intellectual Static Patterns of Value are reified concepts and the rules for their rational analysis and manipulation. Intellectual patterns process from a subject/object conceptual framework creating false boundaries that give the illusion of independence, or 'thingness'. The fourth level is a formalized subject/object level (SOM), where the paramount demand is for rational, objective knowledge, which is free from the taint of any subjectivity.
As far as I know intellectual patterns are as I stated above, and I have seen no evidence to the contrary. Have you presented an intellectual pattern that transcends a subject/object representation of reality, excluding art which may use intellectual patterns but also makes use of inorganic, biological and social patterns and often goes beyond. Where is your evidence? Let's see you demonstrate an intellectual pattern that does not reify concepts, that does not create a self involved in analyzing such concepts, or does not represent the rules for such manipulation? You cannot do it, because the minute you've begun you have divided and formed an object and an analyzing self.
