Your choices are conditioned by Understanding — the projection of possibilities that enables interpretation and action.

Understanding is a model of the world, constructed from expectations, which may be formalized as probabilities.
Its hallmark is reproducibility: the consistent alignment of outcomes with expectations.

Understanding evolves with Experience.
The model is refined in response to Experience, guided by weighted values — estimates of significance or reliability — that shape how new information is incorporated.

‍Understanding is like a lens. It shapes but is itself unseen.

‍You can shape and move the lens. Evidence of your handiwork exists in the lens, but you must view it through the lens with a mirror.

The source of weights and values is ultimately Consciousness — for while probabilities may arise from computation, values require a conscious subject. Behind the machinations of understanding, you find yourself.
