There are many possible ways to make this simpler.
Assuming that the text above should be normal text, except for sections,
you can use an enumerate environment to do what you want, and put, for
example, the following in the preamble
(this can be inserted automatically by the layout file):
\setlength\leftmargini{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginii{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginiii{0pt}
\setlength\leftmarginiv{0pt}
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\thesection.\arabic{enumi}}
\renewcommand{\theenumii}{\theenumi.\arabic{enumii}}
\renewcommand{\theenumiii}{\theenumii.\arabic{enumiii}}
\renewcommand{\theenumiv}{\theenumiii.\arabic{enumiv}}
\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\theenumii}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{\theenumiii}
\renewcommand{\labelenumiv}{\theenumiv}
