<p><strong>Abstract</strong>: The deployment of numbered Acts and Scenes in dramaturgy is roughly analogous in operation, methods, and conditions to the deployment of quasi-experimental design. Acts and Scenes are primarily deployed to nonrandomly divide into independent groups and thereby treat nonrandomly sampled phenomena for presentation as drama (i.e. play); quasi-experimental design may deploy treatments nonrandomly applied to independent groups of nonrandomly sampled phenomena. Upon this analogue, <em>null models</em>, which observe statistical patterns in species distributions from sampled experimental, observational, or historical data to elucidate causal mechanisms, may be deployed to analyze patterns in extant results (i.e. plays), or stochastically vary extant dramaturgical treatments for the generation of novel results…</p>
