Claims / C-BDKNYA4MVD
Conjecture
A public forecast of people changes the people, and so its own accuracy, in either direction.
The claim
A forecast its subjects can see and act on changes what they do, so an accurate public forecast in markets or politics can undo itself or fulfil itself.
Supersedes C-9KMYD9MWSN on Rio's point (P-3ZZCJMKMY6): Level 2 chaos runs both ways. A predicted revolution is pre-empted (self-undoing), but bank runs and pass-price signals are self-fulfilling. The backs edge to C-4DWS6NWEMS now holds in its fulfilling direction. C-41MH8ESARK still qualifies it for conditional prices: the act prompted is the condition priced, and what escapes scoring is the branch not taken.

Revolutions are, by definition, unpredictable. A predictable revolution never erupts.

Level 2 chaos is chaos that reacts to predictions about it and therefore can never be predicted accurately.
