Clearly. If you keep using relations in the outline, their meanings 
need to be respected, even the meaning of the default relation (the
specialization relation): "Human being" cannot be a specialization of 
"Things in general" (since "a 'human being' is not a 'things in general'")
but it can be a specialization of "Thing" (since "a 'human being' is a
'thing').
The following may or may not make sense: "a 'right and wrong' is a 'thing'".

Apart from that, generally speaking, the changes are in the right direction.
