An A matures into a B when it receives some data from the outside world that confirms it
An A is an untested belief, a B is a belief that now has some empirical, from-the-universe data to support it
One example: you test the A in the real world and find that it empowers you, or is predictive. E.g. “oh shit, ok, I think that person is feeling x way because of y, I didn’t know y could make you feel x!” (an A, “it seems that y can make you feel x”) → ask them and they confirm → now it’s a B
Vs, you assume that, you act on it (“oh, they must be feeling x because of y, so i’ll take this action to address y”) → they say “dude wtf, you were totally wrong, you misread the situation” → oh damn ok, that A was wrong
👆 all of this feels a bit muddy to me, still. Noting my own confusion here
