For a report on chimp ability to 'think' by connecting signs and creating
new realities, see Fouts, NEXT OF KIN. A fascinating read.

Yes, it seems to me that to be interesting we must posit this fifth level.
If Quality were to be its marker, how do you think this would appear? With
intellect we have argumentation, models, logic, data research and analysis,
and so forth. What do you think we have/hear/see/do at the 5th Quality-based
level?
