It's not how I would have started the Explanation, but I think it'll quickly be rewritten enough that this element is downplayed/subsumed in some more generalised attempt to explain everything from QFD to the CBR. As I'm only just reading this now, just before I have to wander off to do something else, I shall have to defer my own dabbling edits until later, by which time it will have been matured (or at least remixed) into a more thorough text, so no point me worrying upon how to improve the necessary but rarely inviolable initial attempt to Explain. 172.70.85.5 11:51, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
Maybe in some combination with the Observer effect (physics), it's an attempt to get at the simulation hypothesis maybe?
I absolutely do not get whatever it is that the title text is saying, so I'm sitting this one out. 172.70.214.189 14:56, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
I'd interpret it as them studying fluid dynamics in hope of discovering a way to create the coolest possible cloud. --172.68.50.207 15:07, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
Aye. Given we can't see the 'best clouds' here (because the chances are low that we can) and we can't go and see the absolute best clouds (due to limitations on visiting every likely place out there), by intensely studying the phenomenon that in part dictates how all clouds look one might create (or visually predict the look of) the superior type through rigorous simulation/emulation/etc. 172.70.162.155 15:53, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
