This is not very surprising, given that the symbol-stages are the most observable part of people’s overall development; they give us the words and templates we use to relate to the world. Whereas state, depth and even stage are all difficult to observe directly, the symbol-stage is relatively manifest. But symbol-stages and effective value memes are not the same. The symbol-stages are the abstract logics inherent to the symbols, whereas effective value meme are descriptions of embodied behaviors.
Very important for data linguistic studies aimed at measuring or predicting effective value memes
