0174 Here is a rendition of the resulting nested form.

0175 This category-based nested form describes everyday science.

Researchers are perfectly happy with this arrangement.

Unfortunately, early on in the Age of Ideas, science becomes triumphant.  So, even though Kant’s slogan cleverly isolates the metaphysical unity of the thing itself₁ from its diverse observable and measurable facets₁, triumphalist advocates for science virtually situate the Positivist’s judgment_a with the empirio-schematic judgment_b.  Consequently, the scientific process_b virtually situates the um… intellect_3a that contextualizes the scientific process_2a.

0176 Here the resulting two-level interscope.

0177 This sensible construction sounds like a tautology.  It is a tautology.  Models_2b situate models_2a.

At the same time, the mathematical and mechanical models_2b on the situation level are not quite the same as the mathematical and mechanical models that stand in the slot for what ought to be in the empirio-schematic judgment_2a.  The models_2b on the situation level are successes.  They_2b are so successful that they may contend for the slot for the noumenon_1a. The models in the empirio-schematic judgment_2a are more tentative.  They_2a are fashioned to account for observations and measurements_2a of phenomena_1a.

0178 What does that imply?

Let me focus on what_1b situates the content-level potential_1a.

On the content level, observations and measurements in the empirio-schematic judgment_2a directly emerge from (and situate) phenomena_1a.  Phenomena_1a are the observable and measurable facets of their noumenon_1a.  

On the situation level, observations and measurements on the situation level_1b virtually situate phenomena_1a that… how to say it?… objectify their noumenon_1a.  In other words, a successful model_2b should tell the inquirer what the noumenon_1amust be.
