     Yes.  This helps.  But how do the levels, using
this example, complicate as you mentioned previously? 
Valuing 'something' moral, such as intellect using
your example above.  This "rational decision to sell
stock" is intellectually based, but immoral in the
long run if the levels are not conceived properly. 
This rational decision, by many, would crash the
market, and the social level would degenerate.  Now is
the that (1) the society that fell or crashed was not
moral enough and a 'cleaning' is appropriate, for
example, the Great Depression in the U.S. is sometimes
considered a 'cleaning' of the market.  The market
became too much of burden for society and it 'had' to
crash so a new market could take its' place.  Thus,
for (1) societies must reach these harsh lows (the
hardships of the Great Depression for example) in
cycles or time to time.  (2) A society was not moral
enough and thus, the social level had to crash to
generate better thoughts on how society can stabilize
with quality.  In other words, (2) is a society that
staticly latches with values that generate and are
creative, therefore hardships don't completely
collapse the social level into the biological level,
and then the social level has to start all over again.
 Can a social level remain even in the midst of
change?  Thus to use your example.  Many know,
especially those that play the stock market, that
selling too many stocks will crash the market.  They
know this, but do they practice this knowing?  Is it
simply living what one knows to be morally better? 
And how do all the people balance selling their stocks
with losing everything so they sell their stocks for a
more viable, enduring commodity to last through the
harsh times.  It would seem to me stocks are not
something that can last through the harsh times that a
society may go through.  So, stocks as a foundation of
a social level, if they are rid of/sold in a society
that is founded upon them, is a society that once the
possible cycle of degeneration occurs, then the
society will crash to the biological level.  With
other choices and a more diverse society that doesn't
found itself upon stocks, when stocks, if minimally
present, do crash the market, society founded upon
other moral values wouldn't crash to the biological
level due to this society founded upon other moral
values.  For instance, a society valuing community
would ride out stock market crashes without bottoming
out into the biological level.  This society would
notice a stock market crash, but would hold together
by a more founding moral latch called community. 
Thus, as long as the community is still present, the
stock market crash isn't a concern.

maybe this is something along the lines your thinking,
