Oh, yes, M8, for instance, requires more sets of information than say, M7, which is the order of social cooperation (or its contrary, opposition). At M7, one is handling information about some current circumstance, the joint goals of whatever the cooperation is about (maybe building a house from blueprints, for example), checking out whether one's self is properly interpreting joint goals and progress, or if something may have changed, and evaluating current and recent changes (along with the content of all lower orders that are also part of M7). M8, collaborative creation, imports all the lesser dimensions of information handled at M7 and adds awareness of a diverse set of options and implications "in terms of how other people may receive or respond" to some unfamiliar outcome. Will it be better? Will they like it? Will it work? Does it make sense? The M8 greater dimension of information-handling is that of M7 plus it focuses in terms of "possibilities of the Other". It is a context of discovery and innovation, whether by technologist, theoretical scientist, playwright, musical composer -- anyone working through explorations of alternative systems in terms of some real or imagined collaborators, audience or peers. Much of its processing occurs, not just along linguistic channels of the mind, but even more importantly, among the often ignored "right brain" heavily parallel processing of patterns and paradigms.
