David,

Thank you very much.  I did get as far as clear definitions, but 
after that much confusion.  Your post has help 
considerable.  Presently, I have one additional question.  Would the 
source of knowledge be exclusively the Intellectual Level, or Social 
& Intellectual Levels (both being of the mind)?   Both seems right 
because there was knowledge before the Intellectual Level evolved, 
but that might reflect my misunderstanding.
