Do they refer to runlevels?

I thought that they were merely virtual terminals?

===================================
Imagine a giant radish, like a planet sized radish. Now imagine that there's
a bunny hopping to the radish, and it takes a bite out of it. But the bunny
spits out that bite and kind of smears it back in place on the radish with a
paw. Then it rains.

That's the internet.
