To illustrate a philosophical or conceptual hierarchy by pairing each ascending level with a corresponding visual demonstration of increasing skill, refinement, or complexity. The narrative builds towards an aspirational peak.

- 2
The Intellectual Tier
Define the second, more advanced level, which introduces a new element (e.g., intellect, strategy, skill). The visuals demonstrate a higher level of technical proficiency and precision.
- 3
The Transcendent Tier
Define the final and highest level, which introduces an emotional or spiritual element (e.g., heart, passion, soul). The visuals showcase the most refined, delicate, and masterful execution of the task, transforming it into an art form.

Is my favorite quote from Marco Pierre White. A person who works with their hands is a laborer. A person who works with their hands and their brain is a craftsman. A person who works with their hands, their brain, and their heart is an artist. Best be an artist.
