Yes, you just have variables, which are basically just labels, not careful and ground-truthed simulations of biochemical processes that develop from first principles.

If Erwin Schrödinger or other great math/logic modeler were here right now then you would be in big big trouble, for saying that.

Operational definitions are not a substitute for being able to make it happen on paper, then later on a computer screen. All else is just talk...


You're no Schrodinger.

Operational and theoretical definitions are a prerequisite for doing anything useful.

Modellers have to demonstrate that their algorithms are appropriate and that their math matches reality, otherwise it's no better that Snowflakes = Snowflakes + 1.  You haven't done that.
