If you started watching a movie from the middle without knowing its plot, you'd likely be better at inferring what had happened earlier than predicting what will happen next, according to a new Dartmouth-led study published in Nature Communications.
I guess this makes sens; the space (in the mathematical sense) of possible events or “paths” leading up to a scene could be smaller than the space of possible events after the scene.
That plus the scene itself is likely the result of the previous scenes, giving some context for what had happened. Like ifbsomeone was sad about a death, that means a death occurred relevant to the people in the scene. That doesn’t give any context for future events in most cases.
Right yeah that’s exactly what I meant, you just said it in a more human-understandable way 😅 There’s fewer (likely) ways to end up in a scene than there are ways for things to continue from there
