"The real limitation of dynamics discovery is not methodological. It stems from a foundational issue tied to the nature of the systems being studied. The enterprise of data-driven discovery rests on a critical, yet often implicit, assumption: that the observational data is sufficient to uniquely specify the underlying system. When this assumption of uniqueness fails the discovery process is compromised. The resulting models may fit the available data perfectly but lack genuine predictive power or physical reality."

Watch humans experiencing tension. Feel the uncanny feeling that arises when one’s absorbed, calculative engagement with the world breaks down, revealing the groundlessness of our projects. Watch the beautiful middle manager implementing algorithmic work-force scheduling as she feels something is deeply wrong even as she optimizes correctly. Now watch the AI system. It experiences no such friction. It optimizes without remainder, without the existential discomfort that might prompt questioning. Watch them, both humans and AI systems. If you don't learn to differentiate between function and purpose, you yourself will become a useful tool, but without any existential purpose."
