The so-called unique environmental factor in behaviour genetics research, the longitudinal instability of personality, and the unpredictability of human creativity are all manifestations of the same process. Thus a scientific explanation of any one of them should account for them all. That process, it is proposed, is the inherently indeterminate global dynamics of the human brain. The clear implication is that all social sciences have inherently indeterminate phenomena as their subject matter. Predictions of the results of an appropriately designed psychometric study based on this hypothesis are offered.
行为遗传学研究中所谓独特的环境因素、人格的纵向不稳定性以及人类创造力的不可预测性，都是同一过程的表现。因此，对其中任何一个现象的科学解释都应该适用于所有这些现象。本文提出，这个过程就是人类大脑固有的不确定全局动态。这显然意味着，所有社会科学都以固有的不确定现象为研究对象。基于这一假设，本文给出了对一项精心设计的心理测量研究结果的预测。
