Two more short correlation tables: Howard Gardner's four-wave model of development overlaid on the familiar basic-structures spine, and a separate table correlating stages of art (Wilber's own scheme) with Melvin Miller's teleological/ateleological/ antiteleological worldview types.

Universal waves of development (Gardner)
Gardner's own model only subdivides into four broad waves in the source, not row-for-row against the full basic-structures spine — presented here at Gardner's own resolution rather than forcing a false precision. The rough correspondence to the basic-structures spine (following the general precon/con/postcon/post-postcon mapping used throughout the book — see Chart 1's fulcrum table) is: preconventional ≈ sensorimotor through rep-mind, conventional ≈ conop, postconventional ≈ formop/postformal, post-postconventional ≈ the transpersonal waves.
| Wave | Sub-stages (Gardner) |
|---|---|
| Preconventional | Event structuring, analog mapping, digital mapping, notational systems, symbolic flowering |
| Conventional | Rules/regulations, skill mastery |
| Postconventional | Self-critical, relativism |
| Post-postconventional | Integration of self and culture |
Stages of art (Wilber) and worldview types (Miller)
| Stage of art (Wilber) | Teleological (Miller) | Ateleological (Miller) | Antiteleological (Miller) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensorimotor (initial aesthetic impact) | — | — | — |
| Emotional-expressivist (feeling-expression) | — | — | — |
| Magical imagery (e.g. Paleolithic cave art, dream imagery, surrealist) | — | — | — |
| Mythological-literal (e.g. concrete religious art, icons) | Mythic-theism | Stoicism | Mechanism |
| Perspectival (naturalistic, empirical-representational, impressionist, conceptual, formal) | Humanism | Skepticism | Nihilism |
| Aperspectival (cubist, abstract) | Integrated theism | Existentialism | Pantheism |
| Symbolist (fantastic realist, psychic perceptual) | — | — | — |
| Archetypal (e.g. thangka, bhakti expressivist) | — | — | — |
| Nondual (e.g. Zen landscape) | — | — | — |
