Expectedness for Dummies

Alright, so "expectedness" is all about what we anticipate or foresee happening in a situation. It's like when you're watching a movie and something happens that you can kind of predict because it's what you thought would happen. Or like when you know your friend really well and you can guess what they might say or do in a certain situation because it's what you expect from them.

In simple words, "expectedness" is the likelihood of something happening based on what we know or think about a situation.

Now, let's break it down a bit more. "Expectedness" can also be about how likely or probable something is. For example, if you know that it's going to rain because you saw dark clouds in the sky and felt the air get a bit cooler, then you can say that the expectedness of rain is high. But if the sun is shining and the sky is clear, then the expectedness of rain is low - it's not very likely to happen.

So, "expectedness" is like making an educated guess about what might happen based on what we know and what we're experiencing. We use it to figure out how likely something is to happen, and to help us prepare for different outcomes.

I hope that helps you understand what "expectedness" means! Let me know if you have any questions or need me to explain it in a different way.
