		<description><![CDATA[Well, forecasting the past is a pointless exercise, I assume.

I am restudying statistics, restarting from scratch.

The first time I did it? Few times in school and at the beginning of the university, of course.

Why now? Because I want to understand and review the computations behind some existing models, instead of re-inventing the wheel- with my old models, I needed to understand but not to write computations.

The main difference? Models built on historical data and limited behavioural analysis, vs. models built on historical behaviour and limited data.

		<description><![CDATA[After scripting event-by-event, you will probably identify the need of some structure of reference.

So that each scripting is linked to a common, shared "way of scripting" that you adopt in your own organization (or for your 20-volume "novel").

But this scripting about scripting, or metascripting, represents the environment that defines, identify, and justify your activities.

When does it make sense to script? How does scripting link with the model that you built for your reality?

And, finally, how do you represent everything together, and evolve your models, including the scripting rules that are contained within the models?

		<description><![CDATA[You want your model to work in reality, and therefore you have to assume that others have their own models.

It is a game. Like playing chess. Or the usual "prisoner's dilemma".

From models, we will move to the interaction between models- and between different decision paths within a model.

A down-to-earth introduction to the game theory.

		<description><![CDATA[When you build a model of reality, you try to reduce complexity.

Reducing complexity means making choices- and reducing the risk of something unexpected affecting the results of your model.

Actually, it means also reducing the number of parameters- and, therefore, making any evolution in your world more predictable.

But reality is not necessarily limited by your definition: and managing the reality within a model requires more that planning beforehand for what you know, in terms of activities or risks.

You have also to identify what is the "normal" way in which your model will react to unexpected changes in the "reality" surrounding your model.

		<description><![CDATA[If you identify the "risks", what could affect the conditions that you assumed that could affect your execution of the plan, then you will end up monitoring that:
<ul>
<li>you are using the resources identified if, when, how planned</li>
<li>the risks you already decided to keep under control</li>
<li>whatever new happens around you that could affect your plan</li>
<li>last but not least: that the activity you planned for still makes sense</li>
</ul>

It is not just the journey that you have to keep in check; it is also the destination.
