Steve: It's the same issue. Levels don't themselves evaluate anything, they are categories for types of patterns of value. I think all the personification of levels that goes on here is muddling the MOQ.
[Krimel] So why is everyone so focused on them? The crux of the MoQ from my point of view is its essentially Taoist orientation: The Way manifest as the union of active and passive opposites. Pixels of black and white shaded to gray. This seems metaphysically significant. I would say this applies to any version of reality you care to summon up. The levels tend to be arguments over what to name things. It always reminds me of this from the great sage Douglas Adams, who wrote in one of the Hitchhiker's Sutras: "And the wheel," said the Captain, "What about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project." "Ah," said the marketing girl, "Well, we're having a little difficulty there." "Difficulty?" exclaimed Ford, "Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It's the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!" The marketing girl soured him with a look. "Alright, Mr. Wiseguy," she said, "you're so clever, you tell us what colour it should have."
