Gregg:

As drawn, it misleads on an *essential* point -- complexity.

Your foundational notion of "dimensions of complexity" is lost in what  
appears to be "linear scale" that implies "degrees/amounts of  
complexity" (complete with an "arrow-head" pointing towards Culture.)

There is no reason for the "complexity" of Life, Mind and Culture to  
be at all the *same* as the complexity of Matter or even each other  
(apart from some people's wishful thinking) -- a fundamental problem  
that the "Big History" and Santa Fe types have *not* resolved despite  
30 years and $300M+ spent on the problem.

If you wish to use the word "complexity," then you will have sort out  
how to graphically distinguish among "dimensions" and this chart  
doesn't do that . . . <g>
