Definition / description
It's important to remember that "levels" are not somehow standalone objects with their own ontological identity. They too are just demarcations along a spectrum, a continuum, a range of values, that has been divided into sub-units and then sub-sub-units, like the decimal system.
In a vertical hierarchy, they are values in the Y (vertical) axis.
Levels can be given names -- like "species" or "genus" -- but they are still just (incremental, digital) values in a spectrum
