His observations on the conflation of identity/state/value in OO are very insightful (and I agree with them with the reservation that they apply nearly equally to simple structs of non-OO languages, as well).
But the conclusions drawn seem to be yet another attempt at deriving a paradigmatic model (of reality) that is "simplistic" (to borrow his critique of OO). If the object is now to graduate to subject -- a fine idea -- then we should remember that sentient modality of being includes repose, as well as action.

Now there's a sentence that gives me a grad school flashback! What on earth (if not the fuck) is the "sentient modality of being"?
