       | intelligent system in comparing its model and processing of the
       | domain to the real world. Through such monitoring, discrepencies
       | may be found and diagnosed, leading to changes in the model
       | making it more consistent with observed behavior. Our discussion
       | here centers on the importance of using such expectations to
       | focus and filter intelligent processing.}

       | The world bombards our senses with data, much more than we can
       | process in detail in real time; yet we can't live in a hundred
       | times real time. We survive by ignoring most of that data, or,
       | more precisely, by knowing (almost immediately deciding) what can
       | be ignored. We maintain a set of expectations, against which the
       | incoming torrent is matched. Almost all of it will match those
       | expectations, and we then need merely process the unexpected
       | inputs, the surprising observations. We reserve our computing for
       | those opportunities which promise us genuine new facts, rather
       | than reconfirmation of known ones." -- COG3. listed under
