In the world that I am building there is what amounts to a militaristic application of Psychohistorypsychohistory. Advanced mathematics are used to make tactical forecasts, and like the Phychohistorypsychohistory upon which I based the concept, it works best on a large scale.
Predictive modeling is the closest real science that I know of to Psychohistorypsychohistory. Before iI turn to handwaving and otherwise making stuff up, I decided to ask the question: In what way can predictive-modeling be applied to warfare.
