Major Material Complexity Levels

Major Material Complexity Level -1: An Existence System: The Multiverse

   Microsystems:  From Superstrings?(M theory?)(Twistors?)(Quantum gravity?) to Quanta
   Macrosystems: Multiuniverses? to Our Universe
 

Major Material Complexity Level 0: A Quanta System: Our Universe

   Microsystems: From Quanta (Fermions& Bosons) to Particles (Baryons & Mesons)
   Macrosystems: Our Universe to Galaxies (Quasars, spherical, elliptic, spiral)

Chaos:  Autotrophic Layer: Energy(Vacuum)
Order:  Heterotrophic Layer: Background Radiation
Edge-of-Chaos: Symbotrophic Layer:  Galaxies
 

Major Material Complexity Level 1:  A Particle System: Galaxy Systems

  Microsystems: From Particles (Baryons & Mesons) to Atoms (hydrogen, helium ..)
  Macrosystems: Galaxies to Star Systems (neutron stars, red giants, supernovae)

Chaos:  Autotrophic Layer: Black Holes, Baby Universes

  Microsystems:  From Autocatalytic Sets to Organisms (protoctista, plants, animals)
  Macrosystems:  Biospheres to Organism systems (Hypersea)

Chaos: Autotrophic Layer: An Autocatalytic System ( global calcium, sulfur, phosphorous cycles, Viruses, viriods)
Order:  Heterotrophic Layer: A Cellullar System  (microcosm: procaryotes)
Edge-of-chaos: Symbotrophic Layer: A Organism system (microcosm: eucaryotes)
 

Major Material Complexity Level 5: An Organism System: Hypersea Systems

  Microsystems:  From Organisms to Families (ant colonies, animal herds, primate families)
  Macrosystems: Organism systems to Family Systems(Organism Species)

Chaos:  Autotrophic Layer: A Life Cycle System (biosphere: eucaryotes) (Hypersea)
