The AI has spent the equivalent of 15 million hours of computation honing its strategies, heading
towards what game theorists call a Nash
equilibrium: the
point at which no further improvement is possible.
By «falling
towards equilibrium» I mean that
equilibrium is never achieved but always oscillates around an
equilibrium point, with each variable presumably operating on a number of different time scales.
The entire
point of Fourier's Law is that it drives any system with conductivity
towards isothermal
equilibrium.
* Here Anthony Watts acknowledges the fact that AGW has nothing to do with faith, but is true and tried science that should be the guideline for future, as physics and engineering both
point to the fact that once a system that tries to reach an
equilibrium according to QM (approximated by Newtonian mechanics) is disturbed enough it will change
towards a new
equilibrium state with potentially catastrophic and chaotic alterations in the system, which will present problems for the subsystems functioning within this system, in the AGW case this could be the human cultural system, though Watts doesn't mention it in the lead.
The recent transient warming (combined with ocean heat uptake and our knowledge of climate forcings)
points towards a «moderate» value for the
equilibrium sensitivity, and this is consistent with what we know from other analyses.
