Predictability - Wikiparency

# Predictability ## MicroSim spec - **Recommended sim type:** variance / forecast - **Microsimmability score:** 76/100 - **Layout:** drawing region (canvas) on top; control region (sliders/buttons) below. ### Parameters (tunable controls) - `Process noise` - `Model fidelity` - `Horizon` ### What animates A forecast cone widens over the prediction horizon; it tightens as process noise falls and model fidelity rises. ### Learning objective Relate forecast uncertainty to noise, model quality, and horizon. ## Links (Wikipedia order)  `Accelerated_failure_time_model` · `Actuarial_science` ·

Predictability is the degree to which a [[System|system]]'s future behavior can be forecast from its current state and inputs. ## Build checklist - [ ] Claim it: set `status: in-progress` + `lease` + `leased_at` - [ ] Write the child page explaining the concept (tie it back to system quality attributes) - [ ] Finalize parameter ranges and defaults - [ ] Implement the p5.js sketch (drawing + control regions) - [ ] Add caption + the learning objective on the page - [ ] Set `status: done` ## p5.js sketch ```javascript // MicroSim: Predictability let controls = {}; function setup() { // createCanvas(...); create sliders for the parameters above. } function draw() { // background(...); read controls; render variance / forecast; respond live. } ``` --- Back to System Quality Attributes
