Yes, but how does that prove that money is *not* the sole goal of the free
market?

Mumbo jumbo if you ask me. That's not real dependency, it's just a very loose
connection. Real dependency is for example an animal's dependency on its
inorganic matter. If that matter was suddenly converted into energy, the animal
would die. *That's* the kind of dependency I look for between the levels. If
it's not there, it's simply not patterns of interdependent levels.
