Deduction From Afar

Introduction

As stated in Eagle Eyes, you won’t be able to see details far away (less likely), hence, you won’t be able to see what directly happened to an object, or person.

In return, you can see a bigger picture. By thinking how does it interact with surrounding objects, we can deduce at great length what is its function.

These are some information that you can deduce:

Feature

Even when an object is far away, you can still see some features that make up what it is, you can recognize if it’s a wet umbrella or a dry one.

With this observation, you can do a single step deduction. Stack it up and you’ll get into deeper Layer or validate your previous deduction.

This is an easy point, don’t miss it!

Relevance

This is the main feature deduce from afar. With the same amount of time for observation and less time on details, you have to spend it on surrounding objects.

By observing a group of things, you can see its patterns and relevancy. Hence, deducing missing objects or out of place objects.

Causation

If you recognize the pattern of an object, chances are, you can deduce why it was there. This answers the question of the past.

Example: The front desk has a computer on the side, facing the chair. Pen, papers, calculators are in front of the chair. Needless to say, this was designed for someone to sit in this chair and work.

However, there’s a note on the right side of the table, facing outward. Eventhough the ink matches the pens on the desk, it is for sure not intended for this particular person to view it.

Usage

There will be instances that the position of the object will indicate where it will be or will be used, answering the question of future. So far, I haven’t been able to formulate how to get here unless you’ve seen it before.

Example: a hanging set of clothes usually means that this person take care of their clothes, want it to be nice.

Now adding position from observation.

The hanged clothes are outside of the closet. This person is going somewhere, depends on what the clothes are, you might guess the occasion or location.

The hanged clothes are on the table in a bedroom. This person is lazy, the hanging was probably done by someone else, they didn’t even try to put it in the closet.

A single suit hanged in the middle of summer clothes. Is there anything hidden here?

You get the idea.
