Oh ... you really want to go there!? ... OK!The Eulerian Circles you show, first mathematically described by Joh Venn in 1880, in a paper entitled "On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Propositions and Reasonings", actually support my logic.
Take the A circle as Measurment and B as Perception. Where the two circles overlap is where measurement and observation co-exist and relate within their respective context. This is referred to by Venn as the "Intersection". Where they do not intersect is where measurement and perception diverge, each within there own "Relative Compliment".
The non-intersecting area on the left is where measurement extends beyond the scope of perception and is based in empirical data. On the opposite area perception is relagated to non-scientific speculation and assumption since it has no connection to to empircal data found in the set to the far left. This is referred to by Venn as the "Symmetric Difference". In this case there is no Absolute Compliment, although one could argue products marketed for non-existant phenomenon like "skin effect" in audio cables could fall into this set for either Relative Compliment.
Clarence Irving Lewis in 1918, in his book "A Survey of Symbolic Logic" actually used the example of scientific method & perception as separate sets to demonstrate what he called "The Venn Diagram".
I studied Philosophical Design & Logic at MIT and read all the works of Clarence Irving Lewis, John Venn, Leonhard Euler and others.
Well ... you went there... Spock would be proud! :-)
