Mike,   Six  2003 Seven  1996 Eight 2001 Eight and a half    Good point with the movies, only a hardcore movie fan would make that association early in his trials to figure out the pattern as movie dates.  In this case you gave a hint, such a hint would tell the system to widen its attention

Mike, Very good choice.   But the system always *knows* these domains beforehand  - and that it must consider them in any problem?     YES  the domains content structure is what you mean, are the human-centric ones provided by living a childs life loading the value system with biases such as
