We learn taste congruence through expert combinations: the interior design suggestions found in furniture stores, the kitchen arrangements in appliance ads, and the styling recommended in fashion magazines. These established groupings of products are called constellations, and each taste world contains distinct sets. Congruence in taste means replicating these constellations or making well-balanced adjustments to the predetermined formulas.
