2 Some context-related properties a bridging model might need to include

2.4 contexts themselves can be objects of inference


Contexts are always just frameworks for inference and learning, but can sometimes themselves be objects of thought. This may be the result of obvious deliberation or not, but there must be some mechanism for selecting the correct context based on the available information and previous contexts.

For example, if one is talking at cross-purposes with someone, this can be realised and the correct context (i.e. the other person's) inferred to re-establish effective communication.
