Oh dear - I just see that you repeated your three-thing hierarchy in yet another four messages. I just posted an answer to one of the seven similar messages you posted earlier.

I'll address this point about the meaning of "normalized" shortly, in a reply to your only new message that actually addresses some points you did not address in the message you posted 7 times yesterday.
