I mean 一段掘り下げたところ refers to what lies beneath the surface 言語活動. It's easier to translate 一段掘り下げたところにある as "underlying".

that delves a deeper level

I think here 一段 refers to an extra stage, level or step and 掘り下げる is to probe, investigate, dig into, examine, plumb the depth. Something like "probe one step deeper into the so-called logic and causality of meta-knowledge structure."
