Stratified levels of social hierarchy can be shown to be a condition of the perspective and consciousness of Progressive Materialism. A form of hierarchy which is derived from the Progressive Material perspective as a conditioned evaluative mechanism is what is called the Dyadic Authoritative Comparative, in which the value of any given phenomenon, entity or event is established by comparison to oppositional positive and negative attributes,
as the value of warmth lies somewhere between hot and cold. Dyadic comparative evaluation reflects the perceptual reality such as the distinctions between hard and soft, black and white or high and low. The Dyadic Authoritative Comparative as a means of evaluative distinction is a hierarchal system in which entities are classified between negative attributes as inferior and undeveloped as opposed to superior and developed by means of progressive advancement. The nature of perception itself and the hierarchal character of the dynamic of dyadic comparative evaluation could be said to be inherent to the nature of the human perception of physical reality, however these distinctions only become hierarchal in perspective when they are evaluated in terms of standards of preference as objectives, or the use of comparative authorities as necessities and ideals. The difference between twenty and eighty degrees Fahrenheit produces two distinct sensory conditions in which one is necessary or preferred over the other, in terms of a third criterion as a comparative authority or namely survival or comfort. The hierarchal scales of better and worse, superior inferior, good and bad are relative to the entity in which they are applied. Thirty degrees may not be ideal for human existence but might be perfect Polar Bears.
Another aspect of the dynamic of dyadic comparative evaluation in terms of
hierarchy, is its relation to the production of ends in which specific standards
of quality or performance are required. The more complicated the ends and standards desired, the more intricate the processes for their production and the greater is the reliance upon hierarchy as a division of specialization, as say the desire and creation of the computer. In terms of the production of simple things which nearly anyone can do, no division of labor as specialization may be required.
