A discussion with @snapshotsmith about "Determinism" and scientific truth reminded me that the gap between science and #Scientism is wide.

Incidentally a close friend sent me the paper below on Rosennean Complecity by #Siekmann. Section 5 lists the 3 commandments of modelling in #science ... that's Lie, Cheat and Steal. That's at least honest.

Siekmann, Ivo. "An applied mathematician's perspective on Rosennean Complexity." Ecological Complexity 35 (2018): 28-38.
