Hej Christoffer

Can't say for sure but I think you're the first Swede here besides me, at least 
for a very long time.

You're getting there, just forget for a moment what others have been saying 
about *when* the 4th level emerged.

There's a difference between:

1. "When did the first 4th level pattern emerge?"

... and ...

2. "When did 4th level arguments start having an impact on human civilization?"

Question 1 deals with the metaphysical construction of our universe. What kinds 
of stuff is our universe made of?

Question 2 deals with human history. It presumes a human civilization and 
discusses how a metaphysics can be applied to human thinking and interaction, a 
fascinating subject I'm sure but not what we should be talking about here.
