I see rather a lot of typos and incomplete sentences.

Please PM me so I can fix them! I've been very grateful to the proofreaders so far. :)

Our is a paranoid brain seeing agency in every shadow or strange sound.

By the time I read your comment this sentence was already complete. Are you sure you didn't misread it? I did several corrections and minor edits since posting the original article so maybe I fixed it and forgot about it.

This is filled with incomplete sentences.

That paragraph was originality one long sentence, after gwern's comment I broke it up to make it more readable. Would a list be better?

I'm also troubled by the lack of examples (see Douglas_Knight's comment below).

This was intended as a feature rather than a bug. But if many people are bothered by this maybe should make a follow up post that analyses several examples to see where they conform or not to the features described here.

"Our" is incorrect here. It think you mean "ours".
