A concept adapted from literary theory (Jauss) for science: the framework of assumptions, theories, and prior knowledge that scientists bring to their research, shaping what they expect to find and what they're capable of seeing. Your horizon determines which questions seem worth asking, which data seem relevant, which explanations seem plausible. Breakthroughs occur when evidence shatters the horizon, forcing a new one. Scientific progress isn't just accumulating facts—it's the continuous expansion and revision of the horizon within which facts make sense.
"Before plate tectonics, geologists saw continental fit as coincidence—their Scientific Horizon of Expectation couldn't accommodate moving continents. The evidence was always there; they couldn't see it until the horizon shifted. Your horizon is not reality—it's just where you're standing."

The framework of assumptions, beliefs, and prior knowledge that any knower brings to an encounter with the unknown. You can't approach anything fresh—you always come with expectations shaped by your history, culture, language, and experience. These horizons make knowledge possible (they provide the categories for understanding) and limit knowledge (they blind you to what doesn't fit). Epistemological growth isn't escaping your horizon—it's expanding it, fusing with others, and remaining aware that you always see from somewhere.
"You keep being surprised when people don't see what seems obvious to you. Epistemological Horizon of Expectation: they have a different horizon. Their assumptions, history, and experience shape what they can see. It's not stupidity—it's different standing points. Learn their horizon or stay confused."
