Cosmological mathematics is contemplating things like the nature of the
universe and infinity and zero? I don't see it as intellectual by my
understanding of the fourth level. It's what people are expected to do
when they get together and take mushrooms or something. They gave it a
name, which is what I expect a group of people to do when they get together
and talk about something enough, and they developed it and refined it into
language they understand, which is also what I expect people to do when they
get together. So I think cosmological mathematics is social to the extent
that it is a field, and inorganic if you are talking about the actual goings
on of the cosmos.
If it were a pattern that described the interaction of social patterns, like
say an ideology or political ideas, I would say it was fourth level. For
example, the social pattern of caring for the sick interacts with the social
pattern of government to form an intellectual pattern of national health
care, as a concept with a life of its own.
Just because the subject of cosmological mathematics seems complex and
advanced, doesn't make it any different level-wise from observing that
bananas grow on certain trees or that rain is wet. Would you call those
fields of study intellectual?
