If a simulation is trying to predict the behavior of a simple mechanical system, it's probably accurate. If it's trying to predict the behavior of a biological system, or any other complex system, it's probably not.

Of course you can make predictions about complex systems, but you need to know what the limits are. Five-day weather forecasts have gotten pretty good. Thirty days, not do much.

We could and should probably use it more for understanding though, even if not for explicit prediction. As here.. https://www.strangeloopcanon.com/p/simulating-understanding …

The issue here is lack of accountability. If a butterfly can get away with causing a hurricane, what's stopping others?

Great topic for discussion. But complex is not chaotic? I think simulation may help with predicting complex systems by helping learn about the dynamics and structure through outcomes.
