Steve, Ron, I'm happy with the additional precision - I'd agree.
Clearly all are interdependent, the socio-cultural-intellectual patterns arise from the physical and living level patterns ... discussing the levels separately is a pragmatic (very useful) device, nothing fundamentally (metaphysically) distinct - we have a monism here. The levels are matters of working defintion for practical purposes.
