Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a series of new understandings and a new system of methodology in the area of prediction. It brings readers into the system of evolution science by demonstrating that informational digitization is not only a revolution of scientific methods but also a major reform of theories. Case studies illustrate how to digitize information, simplifying the difficult problem of prediction into a task that can be learned, mastered, and applied. The author also points out why frequent failures occur and why some of the fundamentals in basic scientific theories need to be changed.
