If we wish to be good regulators of the environment, we must be a model of the environment.
What does this mean?
- sleavey 7y agoThat if we wish to control some figure of merit, such as the average global temperature or sea level, then we must understand which variables influence them.
- nabla9 7y agoYou must figure out the causal structure of the system you are trying to regulate and incorporate it into the regulator. Using some generic and simple model to observe variables will not do. When the system becomes very complex this involves simulation. Think the game of chess as a system you try to regulate towards win. The only working solution is to simulate gameplay, dong sequences of moves and evaluating their outcomes (search). Chess computer replicates the system it regulates.
