A serious attempt to mathematically formalize a notion of "level"
within a broad formal theory of perception can be found in
B. Bennett, D. Hoffman, and C. Prakash, "Observer Mechanics, A Formal
Theory of Perception", Academic Press (1989).
See especially Ch. 9.

Copious use of concepts and notation from modern analysis make the
reading a bit tedious. But in my opinion, the underlying conceptual
structure is novel, plausible, and provocative. I have an ambition to
write a less careful but more direct "Readers' Digest condensed version"
-- but I won't say when.
