There is something about the ABM approach that makes it very suitable for exploring emergent patterns. Without it, emergent phenomena are mysterious and remains just outside our reach. However, exploration is not much fun if you cannot eventually draw any conclusions. Is it possible to build a model that presents convincing outcomes, without it also making a prediction? How can we address this tension?
