While waiting for my answer I'll add this. Imagine each players image of the game's fiction in a circle. Now imagine them overlapping - a Venn diagram. (Someone with better topographic knowledge can probably come up with a better analogy). In places, a couple of them overlap - what you call the SIS, I imagine the small region where all the regions overlap, and there is agreement. Some people's circles are bigger than others. If you zoom out, it all looks like shared fiction, but it's not quite as simple as that.
In a long term sandbox game, that small area in the middle will grow and the game will become esaier to play, though it might be harder to introduce new players.
