Could you please repost the 'real definition' of level 3? I have
not been on the list terribly long, and have probably only seen
the contradictory definitions. Anyway, I don't see why any old
mind can't learn flexible modeling, position shifting, and
consciousness of purpose, and consequently I don't see why we
need a level 3 distinction meme.
