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.
