Planned Act Act of Prediction https://www.commoncoreontologies.org/EventOntology A Planned Act that involves the generation of a Predictive Information Content entity that is intended to describe an uncertain possible future event, value, entity, or attribute of an entity. Predictions can only be made about things that are not yet the case (i.e. future things) and are further restricted to being about things that do not have a probability of either 1 (necessary) or 0 (impossible). For example, assuming that no organism is immortal, one cannot predict of a given organism that it will eventually die; however, one may predict uncertain things about the organism's eventual death, such as its precise cause or time. using sample exit polls data to predict the winners of an election An Act of Prediction may involve the use of some or no relevant information. An Act of Prediction that utilizes relevant information may also be (or at least involve) an Act of Estimation. Hence, these two classes are not disjoint. Furthermore, neither class subsumes the other since estimates can be made about existing entities and not all predictions produce measurements (e.g. predicting that it will rain tomorrow). predicting that a particular stock will double in value over the next fiscal quarter a chess master predicting the next 8 moves his opponent will make
