“At work here is that powerful WYSIATI ("what you see is all there is") rule. You cannot help dealing with the limited information you have as if it were all there is to know. You build the best possible story from the information available to you, and if it is a good story, you believe it.

“L'homme ne peut vivre hors de l'espace mais aussi, plus profondément, il a besoin de faire du sens en partant de l'espace pour interpréter les signes qui en sont le maillon central.”
