When you say "OO is hierarchy", I can't grasp what you are trying to saying. For example, things in the real world typically form networks. In special cases, things in the real world might be structured as lists, trees, tables, etc. Or a portion of a network might be viewed as a list, tree, table, etc. The statement seems confusing as it is similar to saying "Fruit is sugar".
