A multi-hierarchy simulation model for magnetic reconnection studies is developed in which macroscopic and microscopic physics are expressed consistently simultaneously. We the first to have successfully demonstrated collisionless driven framework of a model. Magnetic found occur micro-hierarchy upon plasma injection from macro-hierarchy.
