LOOKING GLASS: A HYBRID SIMULATION SYSTEM TO MODEL CASCADING EVENTS WITHIN A BLACK BOX SYSTEM
https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/c6/4b/cc/18073cd3ba933f/US8660828.pdf
"A few examples of blackboxes include: a weather model, traffic model, train schedule, road network with associated attributes (e.g., number of lanes, direction of traffic, passable/
not-passable), people behavior models, sensors, and others."
Running a simulation to go forward?
Analysis of determinant factors in outcome to look back?
