Steve: I think this project of putting the levels on a continuum is doomed from the start because the levels to my thinking are categorical rather than scalar. I will offer a suggestion, however, for what a variable might be that applies to the evolutionary heirarchy as a whole: freedom/versatility. I'll try to find quotes supporting increasing freedom/versatility as describing the evolutionary process across levels.
