If there is a hierarchy of learning, this suggests that that hierarchy
changes over time. System leverage points possibly change over time.
Problems possibly change over time as well. Maybe this is part of the
"wicked problem" phenomenom.

What would be the implications of a heterarchy, as opposed to a hierachy, of
learning levels?
