Some of us have recently been having a weekly book club on Ken Wilber's Sex,
Ecology, Spirituality.  In our latest SESsion, I gave a presentation that
compared Wilber's tripartite conception of big history (which includes the
physiosphere, biosphere, and noosphere) with Gregg's TOK and the related
periodic table of behavior, in which 4 planes of existence are recognized.
I argue that we should recognize the difference between the biosphere and
the zoosphere.  Wilber conflates these (on this he borrowed from the earlier
work of Teilard de Chardin).  Here's the video:

Also here is the matrix document that starts with Gregg's PTB and adds some
content from other sources, including what I learned listening to the
"Conscious Evolution" podcast series.
