People typically can give brief, simple, explanations (reasons) for their beliefs and actions. These may, in fact, be an approximation to what is really a network of subconscious motivations.
Sometimes A.s.a. H. takes an action or makes a decision that I don't expect/understand. When that occurs I usually try to explore the hierarchical patterns of activation that lead to this action/decision. I have found that frequently a number of weak activations may have "summed up" to produce the unexpected outcome. (Like when a large number of small weights in a neural network act together to produce some output signal.)
