Oh, hah, that was pretty silly of me. I'd forgotten that distinction.

On that note, ISTM that the "levels" don't really form a total order - rather than 0-1-2-3-4, it seems more like 0-1-2-4 and 0-3-4 with 3 incomparable to 1 and 2.

Yeah, Tegmark says that level 3 doesn't give you anything bigger than 1 and 2 together do.
