Scales

The agent weighs every piece of evidence and the needle leans. The last weight is a person's, and it waits beside the scale.

Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.Francis Bacon, Of Studies · echoes: Override and Attest: the agent weighs, a person decides

Hourglass

An exception is borrowed time. The sand stays in view, and when it runs out the rule comes back on its own: nobody has to remember.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.William Shakespeare, Richard II · echoes: Except: a person sets the length, the rule returns by itself

In the fields of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind.Louis Pasteur · echoes: Detection by agents; Respond and Override by people

Topographic

Every contour is a threshold someone chose. An honest map may bend the path, but never flattens the peak.

A map is not the territory it represents.Alfred Korzybski · echoes: Thresholds; Critical is never flattened
