[Each of these models exhibits a simple relational structure.

The relational structure illustrates how difficult discussions of various topics, such as freedom, can be.

Imagine a thinker focusing on one structural element to the exclusion of other elements.

This is especially easy to imagine when the one thinker is trying to show how another thinker is wrong.]

[Let me review, again.

I have discussed two types of models, so far.

Both rely on the category-based nested form.

One is the two-level interscope, composed of category-based nested forms on the content and situation levels.

The other is the intersection, composed when two category-based nested forms contribute to one actuality.]

The two-level interscope coheres to the idea of sensible construction.

The intersecting nested forms stimulate the idea of social construction.]
