Predictive system
in GenOS.
A multi-scale prediction model that relates observations, hypotheses, and expected outcomes.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Prediction compares expectations with later observations. Forecast scoring supplies a measurable evaluation method, but predictive-processing theories do not automatically describe this runtime implementation.
A multi-scale prediction model that relates observations, hypotheses, and expected outcomes.
For forecast p and binary outcome y, use Brier loss (p−y)²; for general probabilistic predictions, use a declared proper scoring rule and retain calibration data and resolved labels.

Issue a forecast
A multi-scale prediction model that relates observations, hypotheses, and expected outcomes.
Observe resolved outcome
For forecast p and binary outcome y, use Brier loss (p−y)²; for general probabilistic predictions, use a declared proper scoring rule and retain calibration data and resolved labels.
Score prediction error
Score prediction error. Prediction compares expectations with later observations. Forecast scoring supplies a measurable evaluation method, but predictive-processing theories do not automatically describe this runtime implementation.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
Predictive distribution and hierarchy services are wired into selected runtime feedback paths; this is not a general cognitive model or validated world model.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

Verification of forecasts expressed in terms of probability
Glenn W. Brier · Monthly Weather Review 78, 1–3
Defines the probability score now bearing Brier’s name. Calibration still requires a suitable set of resolved forecasts; a score alone does not establish general forecasting skill.
