Everyday Explanation

Think of life like a long sequence of questions. Each morning you make choices — where to go, what to say, what to eat — and each choice affects what happens next. Like a student taking many small tests, you keep moving forward only by repeatedly passing those daily checks.

For example, when you cross the road you check for cars (a simple yes/no test). When you choose a friend, you check their trustworthiness (another test). Life is full of these checks, and they collectively decide whether you reach your goals.

Scoring System (Intuition)

Tests give scores — a pass or fail, or a number of marks. In life we can think of a Score that accumulates:

Score = sum of (choices × consequences)

Small good choices add up. Small harmful choices also add up. The final outcome (success, safety, happiness) depends on the total score, just as a final grade depends on the sum of exam marks.
