Uncertain Future, Reversibility and the Fifth Dimension

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Models for Research and Understanding

Abstract

The contents of this chapter are not science fiction, though some fictitious elements can be found here. We treat some, rather abstract, models of a real world that can hardly be validated but may serve as a cognitive insight and new paradigms in modeling.
