Spiral dynamics seems another Maslow's pyramid for neurotypical individuals, but covered into evolutionism. I think, main problems with it are:
1. What is "definition of done" for each level of complexity until it can leverage to new level of complexity? What if previous "levels" is developed for more after new level reaches its local maxima? For example, "cultural" level can evolve while lacking sufficient medication (for example, individual rituals and languages), autism does not totally block from integration into society. Thus properties from very different levels of complexity may be integrated at different stages of life.
2. Worldview complexity is not cognitive and functional complexities. The former may be ahead of the latter and vice versa. In beginning of 2010s I had deterministic worldview while most of knowledge and tools were experiential leveraged by magical thinking, not even complex logic was involved.
Since these unresolved problems of any hierarchical foundation I've come to Platonism-like foundation for worldview with different abstract "elements".
