The least disturbance, it being provident and prudent both to take that first up, will arise in just one of three ways, in accord with the mode of discord that importunes on our equanimity, whether it is Expectation, Intention, Observation that incipiently incites the riot, departing as it will from congruence with the other two modes of being.

In short, we cross just one of the three lines that border on the center, or perhaps it is better to say that the objective situation transits one of the chordal bounds of harmony, for the moment marked as <math>d_E, d_I, d_O\!</math> to note the fact one's Expectation, Intention, Observation, respectively, is the mode that we duly indite as the one that's sounding the sour note.
In short, we cross just one of the three lines that border on the center, or perhaps it is better to say that the objective situation transits one of the chordal bounds of harmony, for the moment marked as <math>\operatorname{d}_E, \operatorname{d}_I, \operatorname{d}_O</math> to note the fact one's Expectation, Intention, Observation, respectively, is the mode that we duly indite as the one that's sounding the sour note.
A difference between Expectation and Observation is experienced as a ''Surprise'', a phenomenon that cries out for an Explanation.

| A discrepancy between Intention and Observation is experienced as a ''Problem'', of the species that calls for a Plan of Action.

| A disparity between Expectation and Intention has no obvious name — I remember that I once thought up a term that I thought was apt at the time, but I can't recall what it was, nor find the notes where I recorded it.

At any rate, the modes of experiencing a surprising phenomenon or a problematic situation, as described just now, are already complex modalities, and will need to be analyzed further if we want to relate them to the minimal changes <math>\operatorname{d}_E, \operatorname{d}_I, \operatorname{d}_O.</math> Let me think about that for a little while and see what transpires.
