Essential nonlinearities are rife in the little of neurophysiology that we've encountered.
I am more or less sold on (possibly deterministic) chaotic models for things like tinnitus.
That's close enough to "a complex model we cannot understand" for me.
- mannykannot 7y agoMy point is not that Bonini's paradox is false; it is that it is being used incorrectly, in the quoted passage, to 'explain' something that has a different explanation. The paradox itself seems to me to be almost certainly true, but rather trivially so, without adding much at all to our understanding of complex systems. There are a lot of incomplete models that are useful and add to our understanding of the thing being modeled.
