I cannot for the life of me figure out what you are trying to do here. Why are you writing $((( at all? Is _D_LowLevel a variable or a command name? Are you trying to write a pipeline of commands, or a bunch of bit-wise ORs? If you want a pipeline, use $(a|b|c). If you want bit-wise arithmetic, use $((a|b|c)). If you want an unreadable mess, continue as you are doing.
