Can you explain 4th Level Justification?

I've heard some people use the term "4th level justification" and I can't find it in my documentation for Dramatica Story Expert. Could you provide a short explanation?

When a mind "sees" or is made aware of an inequity it MUST try to resolve it. There are two primary ways to accomplish this. The first is through Problem Solving -- a directed effort toward resolving the problem. The second is to "hide" the inequity so that the mind is no longer aware it. We call the process of hiding the inequity Justification. The process has several stages. We refer to the last stage, where the inequity has completely been removed from the mind's awareness, as "4th Level Justification."
