It's rather like drawing a graph: Se supplies the data points and Ni models the graph that connects them.

I mean the direct linear process of prediction of grouping certain situations into categories and saying "they play out this way" and then saying that another situation you group into that category will then play out the same way because all the "ones" before did. I see this as how Se does this (it can't anticipate that which isn't already following the established pattern it has logged by its experience). It can be the Se-Ni process, but I see it as the Se end of the process that can't see outside of these ruts but that can make all of this highly concrete.

I mean it would be Ni making the connections, but I'm trying to say that this simple rut way of doing things is more what I see Se types doing; not what I see Ni ego types doing.
