What does the pattern “Idea, Explanation, Noise” mean?

We’ve discovered that all non-fiction books communicate ideas in the exact same way: Idea, Explanation, Noise. Yup, noise.

Every non-fiction book has 3 main parts: idea, explanation and noise.

  • The main idea is displayed on the book cover.
  • The explanation and the noise are located inside the book.
  • The explanation is the most important part and the noise is the less important part.
  • The noise is randomly scattered throughout the book, and it distracts our attention from the book’s explanation.
