12. Veridical Expectation, noun. In cognitive science, a belief, arising from real knowledge, that something is just about to occur—the anticipation of a specific upcoming note, for example, in a familiar song. From Latin verum, “truth,” + dicere, “to speak.” For either this person you know so well is a recording you are listening to for the thousandth time, or they are not. You must gamble for your life on constancy or change. You think you can already hear what will come next. For now, the snowfall brings a little pause.
