The Black Box Method
The Black Box Method refers to a process where you analyze a system or model solely based on its inputs and outputs, without understanding its internal workings. Think of it like judging a car by how it performs when you drive it—its engine and mechanics are hidden from view. This approach is useful in complex systems where the internal details are too complicated or unknown. It allows researchers and practitioners to predict outcomes and make decisions by observing results, even if they don't fully understand the internal processes causing those results.
