In reply to Jed Rothwell's message of Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:29:19 -0400: Hi, [snip] > An effect originating in complex phenomena may, in turn, cause >a simple, predictable secondary effect. [snip] The secondary effect is only predictable in the sense that one can say A will cause B. It is not predictable in the sense that one can say A will happen at such and such a time, and consequently B will happen also. This is because A arises out of complexity, and is thus inherently unpredictable without certain knowledge of the future. That means that in the time sense, B is also unpredictable. Regards,
