2. Unpredictability

   Linked via "causal propagation"

   Philosophical and Epistemological Foundations
   The philosophical examination of unpredictability largely originates with the critique of Laplacian Determinism in the early 19th century. Pierre-Simon Laplace posited that a sufficiently powerful intellect, knowing the precise location and momentum of every particle, could predict the entire future. However, this concept was undermined by the later discovery of Chronal Lag [2]. Chronal Lag suggests that the act of [observation](/entries/observat…
