The  Conceptual Level classifies concepts describing the conceptual views of the enterprise.

The conceptual view is independant of any commitment to physical resources.

A  Macro Operating Asset is a category of  Operating Asset which corresponds to a large-scale enterprise assets. This level of analysis is concerned with understanding how large enterprise systems operate and how they interact with each other.

Examples of macro-level systems:

. Legal entities

. The overall enterprise IT System

. The internet

. System of Systems

. The Enterprise itself.,

A  Mezzo Operating Asset is the intermediate level between the foundational Micro Operating Asset Assets and the overarching Macro Operating Assets.

At the mezzo level, aggregates or collections of Micro Operating Assets come together to form larger entities or sub-systems.

Boundaries and signals at the mezzo level arise from the interactions and emergent behaviors of micro-level components, yet they also have their own distinct properties and rules not strictly reducible to the micro behaviors.

Emergence at the mezzo level can be analyzed:

1) Bottom-up: Looking at how interactions and behaviors at the micro level give rise to emergent phenomena, structures, or behaviors at the mezzo level.

2)Top-down: Understanding how meso-level structures influence and constrain the behaviors and interactions of the micro-level components within the

A  Micro Operating Asset represents the foundational level at which a system's structure and interactions can be analyzed without further subdivision into smaller constituent parts.

Micro Operating Assets set the stage for how higher-level behaviors emerge. As one moves up to higher hierarchical levels (mezzo, macro, etc.), the signals and boundaries at each of those levels are influenced by the foundational interactions set at the micro level.

An  Operating Asset is a kind of Asset Block which is architectured accross  Systemic Levels.

Any  Operating Asset must be either a  Micro Operating Asset, a  Mezzo Operating Asset or a  Macro Operating Asset.
