I have Richards book, just starting it though so I cant say to have a good
grasp of level 3 - But the more I hear from others, the more it seems to me
that some people think that thought systems are fixed - relatively unchanging.
If I looked at it like that, I might start adding levels to explain it. But I
think we all consider these boxes to be dynaimc. There cannot be a "bunch of
boxes" just a single one that expands to encompas new objects, concepts, though
procedures, experiences whatever. Robert Anton Wilson calls them reality
tunnels, the wider the tunnel, the more you perceive, understand etc... My
point being: What you alude to as level 3 - I call omniscisnce - Perhaps
because you cant see the walls, there is an assumption that they are not there.
To show you that the wall is there, all you have to do is look at a language
you cannot understand, or a concept that alludes your grasp.
