context dependence

Context dependence in general knowledge refers to the idea that the meaning and relevance of information can change based on the surrounding circumstances or the specific situation in which it is used. For example, a fact or statement may be clear and applicable in one scenario but confusing or irrelevant in another. Understanding context helps us interpret information correctly and make informed decisions. Essentially, knowledge is not always universally applicable; it requires consideration of the situation to be fully understood and effectively utilized.
