MULTILEVEL

g INTRODUCTION
The Neurological levels were proposed by anthropologist
Gregory Bateson
(1972, 1979). He defined a hierarchy of abstraction including beliefs, values and identity. He perceived relationships as having a higher abstraction than identity, and therefore influencing lower levels in the hierarchy, such as beliefs and behavior.


g EXPLORING THE LEVELS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
= Values : if a different meanning and purpose were perrceived, could this transform the elaboration of an Excel spreadsheet or workbook
= Identity : Could a change in some one's self perceptions be the key to solving the problem.
= Capabilities : is learning a new skill,, event, function or method the best way forward in the elaboration of an Excel spreadsheet or wokbook to solve a particular problem, or would it be more efficient to reframe the situation.
= Expectations : if someone had a different assumption, could this make the difference?
= Behaviour : would one difference in what somebody does be the answer
= Environment : Can a simple change in where something happens solve the problem, should the Excel applicaton be multiusers or not, should the application be located on the server or in a personal computer.

g METAPROGRAMS
Content descriptions of some of the ways in which people can and do place their attention. The first meta programs were described by John Grinder as a humourous method of showing the distinction between patterns and content models for his students at UCSC. The distinction is made by chunking up from a content example to the pattern that informs it. Meta programs were taken up by Leslie Cameron-Bandler and her colleagues and used for profiling people. Cameron-Bandler now identifies meta programs as content. As a content model, meta program categorisation and use has no place in the context of NLP.

g LOGICAL LEVELS
A system for organising representations (information) into classes and sub-classes. eg. Apples are a member of the class fruit which belongs to the class food. Food occupies a higher logical level than apple. An example of the same logical level as apple is pear, and a specific (lower logical level) example of apple is Sturmer. Logical levels are useful for categorising and remembering information. Given the concept of seven plus or minus two chunks of information, one has a choice in this example of holding in conscious attention seven kinds of apples, seven kinds of fruit, seven kinds of food etc, according to the chunk size adopted.
