Forecast skill over time plotted for the items “I feel down” (upper left), “I am hungry” (lower left), a sine wave (upper right), and random uniform noise (lower right). The item “I feel down” shows a limited predictive horizon with a strong prediction decay that is characteristic for complex systems. The contrast is clearly seen with a completely predictable system (the sine wave) and a completely random system (the random uniform noise). The item “I am hungry” shows a prediction decay that more closely resembles a random system than a complex system
