Hi Dan, Thank you for responding. It seemed wise to skip the 'what is know in mind' and 'what is knowledge' approach. This example seemed to differentiate even sophisticated patterns based on repetitive experience as the social level, and patterns based on mathematical abstraction as the intellectual level. Archemedes discovery of the principle of displacement had far reaching applications other than ship building and demonstrates the genius behind intellect too. It puts knowing how to bake a pie in the social level, pi in the intellectual level, and all seems right with the world. But I'll wait to see if there is a challenge.
