4. Problems of Modeling (more)

The well-determined (but paradoxical) facts are:
For positive (gains) risky prospects, people typically
        1) overweight low probabilities but
        2) underweight high probabilities.
For negative (losses) risky prospects, people typically
        3) underweight low probabilities but
        4) overweight high probabilities.
Top
------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. New Principle of Modeling, Forecasting, Planning (more)    
Principle of Uncertain Future
(simplified as much as possible)
The principle

The probability of a future event contains uncertainty.

5.1. The first consequence of the principle

Suppose we plan to test the probability value, which is equal to 99%.
Suppose the probability uncertainty value is equal to 5%.
Then, evidently, the real mean value of probability cannot be as high as 99%.
Generally,
High probabilities will decrease.
Phigh real < Phigh planned
Analogously, but considering the second consequence of the principle (see below),
Low probabilities can increase.
Plow real possible > Plow planned

5.2. The second consequence of the principle

The total probability of unforeseen future events
is more than 0%

Σ Punforeseen real > 0%
Hence,
The present total probability of future events
is less than 100%

Σ Pplanned < 100%
or
The present probability system of future events
is incomplete.

6. New Results. Solution of Problems (more)    
6.1. Solution of Problems of Modeling

The well-determined (but paradoxical) facts are:
For positive (gains) risky prospects, people typically
        1) overweight low probabilities but
        2) underweight high probabilities.
For negative (losses) risky prospects, people typically
        3) underweight low probabilities but
        4) overweight high probabilities.

Denoting the real value of probability,
which value is near 100% as Phigh real ,
the (positive) value of gain as G
and the (negative) value of loss as -G ,
we obtain
Phigh real < Phigh planned

and
G * Phigh real < G * Phigh planned

-G * Phigh real > -G * Phigh planned

        2) the underweight of high probabilities gains and
        4) the overweight of high probabilities losses.
Denoting the real value of probability,
which value is near 0% as Plow real possible
we obtain
Plow real possible > Plow planned

and
G * Plow real possible > G * Plow planned

-G * Plow real possible < -G * Plow planned

        1) the overweight of low probabilities gains and
        3) the underweight of low probabilities losses.
Thus, the above facts can be explained naturally and uniformly.

6.2. New Results    
6.2.1. Formula of Forecasting    

The principle of uncertain future causes an increase of forecasting error and structural complexity.
The principle of uncertain future originates a formula of forecasting:

F ≅ Fbase {1+Σφaddit} {∏(1+kmultiplicat)} {1±Δerror}


Top
6.2.2. "Impossibilities" in Forecasting    

Possible conclusions from the formula of forecasting and the first consequence of the principle:

"Absolutely exact extrapolation forecasting is impossible"

"Exact middle-range extrapolation forecasting is unattainable"

Possible conclusions from the formula of forecasting and from the first and second consequences of the principle:

"Absolutely reliable extrapolation forecasting is impossible"

"Exact long-range extrapolation forecasting is impossible"

"Quantitative extra-long-range extrapolation forecasting is impossible"
(Growing quantitative uncertainties and unforeseen events may modify an essential parameter for more than 50% from its maximal value)

Possible conclusion from the formula of forecasting and the second consequence of the principle:

"Complete qualitative extra-long-range extrapolation forecasting is impossible"
(Unforeseen events may add an unforeseen qualitative feature in a complete picture)



Top
6.2.3. "Necessities" in Planning    

Possible conclusions from the formula of forecasting and the principle of uncertain future in the scope of the concept
"Future as the extrapolated Present":

"Future is Modifications and Changes"

"Short-term and Medium-term Planning is Necessary to be Flexible"

"The Necessary Features of Long-term Planning should be
Robustness & Resourcefulness"
