I would defer to the experts in such fields about the possibilities. I did however consider the likelihood of infeasibility within such a model being directly proportional to the complexity and rate of data input.

Yep, sort of like tossing a pot of spaghetti into a wood chipper to figure out if its tasty.

Again, this stuff isn't my bag. But as you say, tracking the impact of small policy change on such a model, although abolishing a federal agency is not small by any describable means, is probably the best way to achieve predictable outcomes.

If I had the knowledge and capability I would probably give it a shot myself. But that's not my expertise at all.
