This is circular reasoning. Things that are “interesting” are a product of 
observing all of reality and identifying things out of the ordinary, where 
“ordinary” is defined as commonly observed patterns over time. The 
spatiotemporal context is not just your database, it is your entire 
computational data model. 

Even if you use reality for hypothesis testing, a good hypothesis is hard to 
develop in a vacuum. Also, you can’t just “look things up” in reality; the data 
has to streamed into computers and indexed so that a computer can find and 
analyze it.

It turns out that subsets of the physical world do not even approximate a 
closed system. Models built from closed system assumptions suffer from chronic 
“black swan” events in practice unless they are limited to very narrow use 
cases. You mitigate this by fusing as many data sources as possible into a 
single spatiotemporal context. (Also required for data quality reasons.)
