    Where Does It Hurt?

    Why a Pain Score Is Not the Same Thing as Measuring Human Pain

    Pain presents an unusual measurement problem.

    The patient can feel it.

    The clinician can investigate it.

    An observer can see behaviour.
    Instruments can measure associated biology.

    But these are different kinds of evidence — and none automatically replaces the others.

    A pain score can be perfectly accurate while losing location, quality, duration, trajectory, context, function and experienced time.

    Nociception ≠ pain.

    Location ≠ source.

    Intensity ≠ damage.

    Score ≠ whole experience.

    Outcome ≠ mechanism.

    Paper IV of our Biological Representation series asks a deceptively simple question:
    What does a pain measurement actually measure?
