[Back to the applesauce example, I got to a place where something2a consisted in the actuality of the opportunity to make apple sauce.

‘This something2a’ is virtually situated by ‘my choice2b’, in the following nested form:

I, seat of choice3b( my choice2b( the potential of something2b))

If I am not contemplative, the potential of me1a is subsumed into I choose2b.

No further articulation needed.

I decide to make applesauce.

The interscope remains an interscope.]

[Opportunity is sandwiched between responsibility and freedom.

Is opportunity sandwiched between words and bondage?

I have a better word: ‘temptation’.

Temptation is sandwiched between words and bondage.

Opportunity and temptation belong to the single actuality that is ‘my heart2’.]

[In the example of a friend who calls and informs me of the fine apples on sale in the farmer’s market, I am aware of something2a:

‘Hey, I can make some applesauce and stock up for the winter’.

This statement is equivalent to something2a.

This may be called an opportunity.]
