Hmm. It might take 22 or 23 differential equations to capture it all,
instead of just 20.
Oh, and we might have to switch from MATLAB to Netlogo.

Forget the mega-giga-hyper model building.
Fund instead:
- Time machine (so we no longer have to be in such a hurry to make
decisions)
- Parallel Universe Generator (just pick the outcome you like)
- Infinite Improbability Drive (so we can live in Hari Seldon's
Universe and have Psychohistory)
