Plot Sequence Materials Report

Dramatica for Screenwriters Plot Sequence Materials Report:
as well as the Plot Sequence Report (under Dramatica Advanced Reports):
I know this has come up before but I am now at a point where I am ready to understand the answer. In these two Plot Sequence reports e.g.
"OS Signpost 1 Title:
OS Signpost 1, Scene 1: Conceiving an Idea as it relates to Instinct:
OS Signpost 1, Scene 2: Conceiving an Idea as it relates to Senses:
OS Signpost 1, Scene 3: Conceiving an Idea as it relates to Interpretation:
OS Signpost 1, Scene 4: Conceiving an Idea as it relates to Conditioning: "
and
"In act one, "coming up with an idea" (Conceiving an Idea) is explored in terms of Instinct, Senses, Interpretation, and Conditioning."
So here is my question. Conceiving an Idea is under Manipulation (a manner of thinking) but the Variations listed are all Variations under Understanding in Activity. What is going on here? Is it that this is the inequity created by the problem? And if so, why are they not moved around in the Theme Browser after I come down to one story form? When we are analyzing or creating a story form we are using the Variations that are actually under each Type.
I will appreciate any insight or direction as to where I can find the answer.
