Hello Mary, I'm enjoying your posts.
I don't see an answers to my questions. Are you sure you want to place "ART", without a definition, in the Intellectual Level? Is it a special case? Or are you attempting to use the label 'ART' as a generalized, abstract symbol to be reified, studied and manipulated? Or maybe RMP didn't place it in any particular level, because it defies categorization?
