[Consider the discipline of experimental psychology.
Every psychological experiment where the subject chooses something exhibits this two-level interscope.
The experiment investigates the situational nested form:
I, seat of choice3b( my choice2b( potential of something1b))
However, the experimentalists inject a perspective into the adjacent and lower level, as content.
The name ‘thought experiment3a’ seems appropriate. Does it not?]

[What is this thought experiment3a or mirror of the world3a? ]

[I, seat of choice3b, virtually situates the mirror of the world3a.]

[Let me return to the interscope of the thought experiment of ‘I choose something’.
I, seat of choice3b, elevates and embodies the actuality of my choice2b, which, in turn, emerges from and situates the potentials inherent in something1b.
The possibilities inherent in me1a underlie something2a, which is then situated as a potential.
What is the normal context for something2a?
A thought experiment3a.]
[Modernism fixates on the rules of non-contradiction.
And now, 50 years after Schoonenberg wrestled with a Zeitgeist full of false dichotomies, the modern way of thought is dying.
Long dismissed religious and philosophical ideas spring to life.
The concept of the nested form may seem new and bizarre.
But it is not new.
The premoderns wrote according to the nested form without explicitly knowing the structure of the nested form.
Soon enough, the category-based nested form will become routine.
Then, people will look back at the divided moderns and wonder:
How could they have been so stupid?]
[Modernism packs every idea into ‘this versus that’.]
[Moderns only recognize the logic of non-contradiction (the logic of secondness).
Moderns recognied a multitude of oppositions, such as the opposition between responsibility and freedom and the opposition between words and bondage.
But, these are not oppositions. They are co-oppositions.]

[Christian theologians are often on target.
Yet, they will never satisfy the Modern world.
Why?
Moderns recognize only one category, secondness, as valid.
The realm of actuality corresponds to the category of secondness.]
[The Scriptures were invaluable in providing a basis for a specialized theological language. This language probes the realm of possibility.
Theologians search Scripture for meaning, presence and message.
They aim to articulate how each heresy distorts generative, life-giving, relations.]
