Figure 2

The distribution of resources in two environments having the same objective resource distribution. The resource amounts Rm 1and Rm 2are the minimal acceptable amounts of resources in the two environments. The shaded areas are the parts of the distributions ignored by animals living in the two environments. The larger the ignored area the higher is the subjective variance of the distribution, with the condition that the ignored area is smaller than half of the area below the curve of the distribution.
