XandarTheZenon has a point that it is a bit opinionated, but I don't know if it's overly so, especially given the types of questions that use the worldbuilding-process tag.
The cleverest AIs are also lazy. I'd post a question on the internet asking people to suggest ways to kill the house owner. For added amusement, I'd entice the owner to answer it and use his answer if it's workable.
@HDE 226868 I have a question related to your History vs. Science question. Are you comfortable with agent based approaches to problem solving? I started writing up an answer based on how I do things, but I'm finding it seems more and more contrived unless you already like using agents to explain things in the first place.
@TimB Exactly. It's problematic in the same way that an answer that only refers to another work is problematic - except in this case, you can't even follow that link or reference.
@CortAmmon What do you mean by an "agent-based approach"?
It includes patterns like "History might spawn an agent whose goal is to create a big battle in the plains." Then History doesn't need to worry about the battle, other than to check up every now and then to see how its agent is doing.
When you are flagging to close a question as on-topic you are presented with two reasons for closure that seem very similar:
This question does not appear to be about worldbuilding, within the scope defined in the help center.
Blatantly off-topic (this question has nothing to do with worldbuil...
@HDE226868 For the record, I don't think the question you have is too opinion based. The results of each method applied can be directly evaluated into plausibility of result and circumstances when applied to scenario x, allowing for an objective measurement of "best answer". In fact, we could take that further and use all methods (separately) for several scenarios, and evaluate which strategy comes out on top the most.
Alternatively, if they're all good, edit it together into a community answer and use it for reference
@Aify That's an interesting idea - and yeah, as you and XandarThe Zenon said, it does seem like it could use a general reference answer. I'll wait for more responses to hopefully come.
@HDE226868 I agree wholeheartedly -- the fMRI suggestion's an excellent one -- I just figured there'd be more ideas people would want to share, or more detailed insights as to how the data would be processed for that matter
