If you name the fourth level the Individual level then it is associated with
the individual, which according to the MOQ is a collection of static

I think he also says if someone changes the MOQ that it should be named
something else to prevent confusion.

Thank you for saying so. I have been fortunate indeed to be involved in the
Lila's Child project. It has been a labor of love.
