Video narration
Is your brain just a camera, recording whatever happens? Think of phone autocomplete: it uses past experience to predict the next word. Your brain does something similar with the world. It makes a prediction, then checks sensory input against it. When reality disagrees, that mismatch causes an update, improving the next guess. That loop helps you understand quickly and learn. No-it isn't passively recording. It predicts what comes next, checks incoming signals, and updates when reality disagrees.
