My interpretation of the Intellectual Level is based on reification. The fourth
level is comprised of static patterns of value such as theology, mathematics,
science and philosophy. The way that these patterns function is as reified
concepts and the rules for their rational analysis and manipulation.
Reification decontextualizes. Intellectual patterns process from a
subject/object conceptual framework creating false boundaries that give the
illusion of independence as a “thing” or an “object of analysis.” 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 like emotions, inclinations, fears and compulsions in order to
pursue, study and research in an unbiased and rational manner.
