See if you can find a copy of Isaac Bonewitz' Authentic Thaumaturgy.

That description reminds me quite a lot of the metaphysics for magic in Mage: the Ascension. The White Wolf system had a GURPS 3e adaptation, which in turn was the basis for the "Realm Magic" system in 4e Thaumatology (p188, filed under "Syntactic Magic"). Tuning the exact number and scope of the Realms and levels within would be an important worldbuilding task to get the flavor that you want.
