Marsha:
From my point-of-view there is an emerging level where value is known as primary, 
and fourth-level, intellectual patterns as tools are used for creating and implementing 
a higher quality experience/environment.  Where one "can then examine intellectual 
realities the same way one examines paintings in an art gallery, not with an effort to 
find out which one is the 'real' painting, but simply to enjoy and keep those that are 
of value. There are many sets of intellectual reality in existence and we can perceive 
some to have more quality than others, but that we do so is, in part, the result of our 
history and current patterns of values."

This works for me; it doesn't work for you that is okay by me.
