Subject: Re: [FRIAM] More on levels of sequence organization

I remember skimming that paper before. The interesting question is the
strictness (or "looseness") of the hierarchy. Figure 2 implies (eg "Verify")
the ability to hop over entire levels. So the question boils down to whether
or not it's really a hierarchy or something else, something like the subset
of a power set of the primitives. I'm loosely analogizing with Koza's
automatically defined functions (ADFs) where the operators can work over
both the primitives and the "macros".
