The operator and the model.
Knowing where something goes is not the same as knowing what it does.
An open thought distinguishing prediction of a model’s trajectory from reproducing its computation. It records a question; no experimental finding is asserted.
The operator knows where the model goes. It doesn’t know what the model does.
What would distinguish following a trajectory from reproducing the computation?
A useful experiment would compare both natural trajectories and responses to controlled changes. A result belongs in its own sourced record.
