Consider the following scenario: A person enters a dimly lit room, desiring to illuminate the space. They feel their way along the wall, searching for a light switch, and upon finding it, flick it, thus turning on the light. This is a very mundane occurrence, yet have we ever pondered how one knows that the switch will cause the light to turn on? How does one know there might be a switch on the wall? Just how complex is the reasoning process involved in this simple scene?
