This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.
The observer has a capacity
A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.
How many things a person can apprehend at once and what sets the limit, from Jevons (1871) to working-memory research. Held here because the modern answer is a capacity argument like those about channels.
