That’s an interesting point, but I don’t think the complexity gradient from underlying causes to macroscopic effects always goes the same way. The macroscopic dynamic effects of an earthquake on a building can be modelled fairly easily. Trying to model the earthquake’s dynamics through the earth at the molecular level is a lost cause though.
