* prediction * extrapolation
inference
This is a process wherein a forecast of events is based on observation. Predictions can reliable only when there is regularity in the changes observed. Predictions are also safe if the variables can be controlled or if there are less variables that can possibly affect predictions. One can predict what is to happen at a certain time when predictions are based on observations and past experience. Predictions, therefore, can be within or beyond observed events.Interpolation is a prediction made based on observed data, while extrapolation is a forecast beyond observed data.

== == Here are various elements that I think a useful prediction would have: It must be theoretically possible to disprove the prediction through objective, observable, independent events. (Good luck with: "I predict that it will be a colder than normal winter, because Yog Sothoth will close the Gate at the moment of the Winter Solstice!") The prediction should concern something of general interest and not something nonsensical. (No one will be interested in your prediction that there will be a noontime for the next seven days in a row!) The prediction should be based on a hypothesis about how some system or process works. Independent events (events that you are not manipulating in any way) should verify your prediction at a rate well beyond chance. Of course, not all predictions will do this, but the ones that do will usually point to other interesting questions that will end up shedding light on the hypothesis. The prediction should be repeatable and verifiable by independent researchers (it should not be a one-time prediction).
Based on the events and themes presented in the text, it can be predicted that the narrator may face internal or external conflicts that lead to personal growth or transformation. The resolution of these conflicts could ultimately shape the narrator's character or perspective by the end of the story.
