Recapitulation
The system appears to rest on , destructive despair virtually prevents higher groupings from operating. Betrayal in relation to is particularly painful and also makes functioning in higher grouping difficult or impossible.
Observations on your Properties
The "Vow" Gap: In modern life, we often try to "Persevere" (L1-L2) or "Engage" (L3-L4) without the formal "Commitment" (L4-L5). Your framework suggests that without the Integrity of L4, the "Engage" level becomes Detached or Intrusive because it lacks the formal "binding" that an oath once provided
The Level 4 Pivot: Level 4 (Commit) acts as the bridge between personal awareness (Realize) and higher-level evolution (Develop/Cultivate). When society stops valuing formal oaths, it effectively "breaks" the ladder at Level 4, making it harder for individuals to reach the "Self-sacrifice" required at Level 6.
Upper Three vs Lower Three
The anchor-requirement shifts from external/tangible (Task, Truth, Context) to internal/transformative (Integrity, Aspiration, Devotion). This explains why an Oath (L4) feels so different from a Trial (L1).
