The mathematics of the scientific theory known as "complexity" describes those phenomena that are not quite stable and not quite chaotic. ███ ████████ ███ ███████████ ██ ██████████ ███ ██ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██████ ████████ ████ █████ █████████ ██████ █████ ██████ ███ ████████ ██ █ ████ ██████ ██ ████ ███ █████ █ ██████████ ███████ ██████████ ████ █████████ ████ █████ ██ ████ ████████ ████ ██████████ ██ ████████ █████ ████████ ████████████████ ████████████ ██████ ██ ██████████ █████████ ██ ██████████ ████ █████ ████ ███ ████████████ ████████████ ██████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ ██████████ █████████ ████████ ███████
Summary
Computer simulations based on the theory of complexity give the same results as what scientists have observed in the real world. Therefore, complexity is likely correct.
Notable Assumptions
The argument concludes that complexity must be correct based only on the fact that computer simulations of complexity match up to real world observations. In making that jump, it has to assume that, if computer simulations based on complexity give the same results as the real world, that helps demonstrate that complexity is correct. We’re therefore looking for a principle that explains that leap - that tells us explicitly that a computer simulation giving the same result as the real world means the theory the computer simulation is based on is likely correct.
