Key Notes
Jiang says constructing a valid psychohistory AI would require at least 50 to 100 years because the model must be repeatedly tested against predictions.
He says failed predictions require revising the predictions and analysis rather than keeping the model fixed.
A historical model should also be predictive, because future outcomes help validate, negate, or refine the model.
Jiang treats future prediction as a test of whether his historical models actually hold up against reality.
Jiang says historical interpretation should be forced to make predictions, because predictive success or failure is what distinguishes a valid model from propaganda.
