At, you've mentioned these tacit LOs a few times now, without much
elaboration. Finally, I'm taking the bait: would you describe these 4 LOs
for us, especially the kinds of attributes that lead you to consider them
LOs, as opposed to simply organizations exhibiting OL (or L+O).

I'd also be interested in the Steigerung aspect: for what part of their
lifetimes have the organizations been acting as LOs, and what kinds of
emergences occurred to cause the transitions from OO to LO?

Warm regards,
Dwig
