Obviousman- are you saying that TS is the direct label- and that things such as Q refer to compartments as Larry Jacks put it? im visuallizing this as a Sideways thing more than an above...
For Example i am a mammal- and im a human not a cat- humans Cant breed with cats - Nuclear Material is Top Secret- its labled Q- a person without Q clearance cant read it. is that a simple analogy or am i way off?
