[Obviously, the interscope and intersection are exclusive.
The nested forms go either one way or the other.]

[When can a researcher know whether the interscope or intersection applies to the conditions of the survey?]

[What about surveys where the intersection applies?
What about surveys where ‘the something that I may choose1V’ does not correspond to ‘the something that emerges from and situates me2H’?]
[Psychologists only can claim that survey measurements represent ‘the potentials inherent in the subject under investigation1a’ under the conditions where the interscope applies. Surveys only apply to sensible construction.]
[Base-level bias must exist in social science experiments because the researcher defines the thought experiment3a that stimulates a response in the subject1a.
The response (the upwelling of potential in the subject1a plus the potential of the survey to impose constraints1b) always conforms to the stimulus (the normal contexts3a&3b that the event occurs in).
This also explains why many social scientists rely on deception. Deception has the same character as bias. All experiments exhibit ‘base-level deception.]

[The psychologist may think that “he” is measuring my mental potential1a as if it were an actuality. After all, on the situation level, the content level nested form is packaged as the possibility of something that the subject might choose1b.
The psychologist may not imagine that “he” is measuring the hidden features in the actuality in the thought experiment where ‘I choose something’.]
[The only other actuality is ‘my choice2b’.
This item can legitimately be observed and measured because it belongs to the realm of actuality twice, as situation and as element in a nested form.
Again, the researcher is concealed in the way that the survey can be marked.
For example, the researcher may have already limited possibility1b to a choice from 1 to 5.]

[So what are survey questions actually measuring?
Something2a is the actuality that gains the subject’s attention. Yet, even this actuality is one element in a dyad.
The other element is the researcher and the conditions.
These are very difficult to assess. Consequently, the thought experiment3a treats these as constants.]

[In social science survey experiments, the bait is the thought experiement3a itself. The choice in the survey is the catch.
The bait inspires an upwelling in ‘the potential in me (the subject in the investigation)1a’. That upwelling tries to ‘deal with’ the bait.
Something2a emerges from and situates that upwelling.
Something2a may be an answer. But, that answer may not fit a survey question where the respondent gives a number between 1 and 51b. Something2a depends on the thought experiment3a calling it into being. My choice2b depends on the situationb.]
