You said, "...it is a statement about your expectations...."
I was following your convention; but maybe I should have phrased it as '...one's perceptions, and by one's preconceptions.'
p.s. re: my parenthetical addition,
"[which are limited to your perceptions, and by your preconceptions]"
I'm in total agreement; relativity (or any formalism) doesn't necessarily inform us about the true nature of reality.
...or am I misunderstanding something?
