La sensación de un yo podría estar relacionada con este patrón, de tal forma que se comprobaría que la coherencia global de una serie de modos de pensamiento es interpretada como el yo. De acuerdo con lo anterior, el yo es un patrón resultante de un proceso y nunca un objeto concreto.

La sintaxis de los procesos mentales, asociada a la experiencia del yo, es un proceso, por lo que la tesis de este libro conceptualiza al yo como una idea que se ve reforzada.

La sensación de que el yo es permanente se deriva de la existencia de patrones coherentes que son recurrentes y de gran duración temporal. La recurrencia, predictibilidad y coherencia temporal de estos patrones se interpreta como evidencia de que existe un yo fijo y permanente, cuando, en realidad, solamente se trata de un proceso con ciertas características invariantes pero nunca con una existencia concreta e inamovible.

Only once this story has been completed and agreed upon can we say what the relevant events were, or which were the most important. Thus it follows that predicting the importance of events requires predicting not just the events themselves but also the outcome of the social process that makes sense of them.

What it means, though, is that the law of the few is not one, but two hypotheses that have been mashed together: first that some people are more influential than others; and second, that the influence of these people is greatly magnified by some contagion process that generates social epidemics.

The reason is simply that when influence is spread via some contagious process, the outcome depends far more on the overall structure of the network than on the properties of the individuals who trigger it.

In reality, the events that we label as outcomes are never really endpoints. Instead, they are artificially imposed milestones, just as the ending of a movie is really an artificial end to what in reality would be an ongoing story. And depending on where we choose to impose an "end" to a process, we may infer very different lessons from the outcome.

The Halo Effect, in other words, turns conventional wisdom about performance on its head. Rather than the evaluation of the outcome being determined by the quality of the process that led to it, it is the observed nature of the outcome that determines how we evaluate the process.6
