If you prefer to call it motion estimation or planning or adaptation,
then call it that. I am just trying to agree on the meanings of some
words so we can communicate effectively. Can you agree that these
tasks all involve assigning probabilities to events that you haven't
observed yet?

If you disagree, then try taking some of my words and scrambling them
in random order and see which sentence is easier to remember. Then try
scrambling the letters in random order. Do you see that the task
becomes progressively harder because you are not able to predict the
next word or next letter?

Have you written any language modeling or AI software? It might give
you a little more insight into what your brain is doing.
