2. Gestation / Recognition:Partially know the scope and structure of the system, and use it in limited, familiar situations (individual HoM’s)
3. Replication / Comprehension:Know the scope and structure of the system, and use it in familiar or similar situations (HoM & Engagement)
4. Innovation / Understanding:Know the scope and structure of the system, and creatively use it in novel situations
