[For the vertical axis:
(1) I, seat of choice3V( my heart2( something that I may choose1V))
Compares to:
(2) I, seat of sight3V( what I see2V( potential of (some)thing scattering photons1V))]

[Let me place (1) the thought experiment and (2) the physical analogy side by side.]

[Perhaps, for the intersection, the scenario should be:
With a light source, I see something.
I realize that I am seeing. Seeing is not part of some ongoing operation. There are two drivers, my neurophysiological potential and the potential of whatever is specular scattering light.]

[Perhaps, for the interscope, the scenario should be:
With a light source, I attend to something.
I do not really realize that I am seeing. Seeing is just part of the ongoing operation. My attention acts as a driver.]

[The intersection works because ‘the something that specular scatters light2a’ does not really emerge from and situate ‘my neurophysiological capabilities1a’.
It only does so when I, seat of sight3b, commands the situation.
When my command falters, I may ask the question: What am I looking at?]

[The interscope works when ‘my attention’ seamlessly selects a particular item that specular scatters light. In other words, my situational attention3b directs my neurophysiological potential1a towards a content level something2a. This is the only way for a thing to emerge from and situate my neurological potentials.
I, seat of sight3b, virtually emerges from and situates the origin and the nature of the illumination3a. Under typical conditions, I do not even notice the ‘I see’ nested formb. I unhesitatingly attend to something2a.]

[I, seat of sight3, brings my attention2 into relation with the possibilities inherent in ‘light specular scattering from the surface of something stimulating my neurophysiological potential’1.
A light source3 brings some thing that actually specular scatters photons2 into relation to my visual neurophysiological potential1.
These two nested forms may interscope or intersect.]

[Let me reconsider a natural analogy:
With a light source, ‘I see something’.
As before, there are two actualities: ‘I see’ and ‘the something that I see’.]
