How accurate are those algorithms? I have come across the concept that there are complicated systems and complex systems. In a complicated system, the algorithms are very big and (would you believe?) complicated, but a big enough computer with an i999‑Core processor can accurately model it. A complex system remains unpredictable irrespective of the amount of effort used to predict its behaviour; indeed attempts to monitor its behaviour in real life can alter that behaviour unpredictably.Paul Clapham wrote:. . .
