4. I like to speak of a "Matrix of Expectations" and...

... a "Matrix of Experience," which is somewhat adjacent to this idea. How the two matrices are formed and inform each other create our world-view.

One of the considerations I find relevant in this is that the individual's Matrix of Experience may be influenced by personal experience, or by experiences at second-, third-, ad infinitum- hand via anecdote, reading, or other secondary stimuli. I speculate that one element of intellect is at how many removes one can still be influenced to modify the Matrix of
Experience, although that's probably too simplistic.
