What is "an idea level" to begin with?We are talking about multiple hypothetical models, some of which might have ideas and other substances separated. But 100% of all models must be able to support the existence of ideas and experience.

This is where you start talking about compositional fallacies. However, it depends on perspective whether you want to say a mind generates an idea, or the universe does, or whatever. So let's say that all possible world views must incorporate the possibility of the existence of ideas, and that everything humans ever experience, including the experience of knowledge, is experienced as an idea (basically by definition).
