You can think of each level as a "territory" of skills and the level above as a
"map" of the skill set below. Therefore, as you move up to the next level, you
have conscious access to the level below and unconscious access to a new set of
skills.

I'm curious to know if the ability to determine the "difference that makes
the difference" in the system, the key leverage points, falls under Level
3.
There's a difference between making descriminations and finding the key
leverage points in the system, isn't there? To find the leverage points,
a person would have to descriminate between the descriminations they made
to determine which ones have the most impact.
I wouldn't want to sort through all the different combinations of variables
to find where I could have the most leverage. Is this learning 4?
When I read "The Fifth Discipline", I saw something in Chapter 19 about
a sixth discipline. Where would this fall under? Has anyone thought about
what a sixth discipline would be, other than Mr. Senge? I'm curious to
know what kind of intelligence augmentation tools (Stella, ithink for
systems thinking and dialogue) would be used in a sixth discipline.
Thinking at that level wouldn't be easy at all, would it. I better not
even attempt it till I'm more experienced.
