expectation
Let an agent explain the notion of expectation, relay its role across psychology, economics and daily life from reference sources, describe the kinds its aliases name, and distinguish an expectation from a hope and from a prediction.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
