The Mechanism of Guaranteed Scientific Prediction

What gives us confidence in the prediction of natural events and of manmade mechanisms? Is it simply empirical, or is there something else ensuring a certain guarantee?
 
In the footsteps of Galileo, Newton in 1687 introduced abstract force as the cause of the observable effect, 'rate of change of momentum of mass', lighting the way towards understanding of the mechanics of motion. In conjunction with the concept of potential, Newton's laws of motion form the basis of the entire theory of classical mechanics.

That force as cause, is a mathematical abstraction, the common currency of exchange linking the various forms of energy, is pointed out. Explicitly, abstract force or cause, measured as its observable effect, the time differential of a state of inertial momentum, or 'mass x acceleration', is the space derivative of potential energy, through the latter's formulation as the space integral of the same abstract force or cause. This is a reversible transformation, allowing such necessarily connected cause and effect dualities to be considered simultaneous, so mirroring their relationship as synchronous and not sequential. In such a synchronous identity formulation, the existence of the effect comprising a complete compatible set of measurable observables, representing the rate of change of a state of inertia, ensures the abstract cause to exist simultaneously of necessity, thereby guaranteeing prediction. This abstract-observable mechanism is described here as a synchronously causal identity potential.

Newton's laws of motion formed the foundations of not only classical mechanics but also led the way to all the other fields of the natural sciences, carried by the torch of abstract force. Likewise, probability propensities have enabled guaranteed prediction in quantum mechanics, and as chance and necessity in biological evolution.

The consequence of the above is that abstract force, the currency of exchange among all the known forms of energy, is the binding link in the sought after 'Theory of Everything', the Holy Grail of Science.

Further, abstract force as cause synchronous with observable effect, powers the principle of stationary action which traces the unique paths of Nature's ceaseless change. This apparent stability of Nature's geodesic course, mirrors the 'Anthropic Principle', without recourse to theories of uncheckable 'parallel universes'.
