We have first an expectation, then a sensation with the feeling of expectedness related to memory of the expectation.

Ergative marking has the pragmatic function of displaying the degree of expectedness of the subject.

Still, a streak of bland expectedness runs through the display, not helped by the absence of multimedia installations, environments or video works.

People make inferences on the basis of three factors; degree of choice, expectedness of behavior, and effects of someone's behaviors.
