In a system which can be observed and described at many different scales and resolutions, a macrolevel is a macroscopic level of organization with a low resolution observable by the naked eye. When comparing two levels of organization it is often convenient to refer to the lower (or higher resolution) level as the microlevel and the higher (or lower resolution) level as the macrolevel. This is for example the case in the micro-macro link (MML) problem.
