Everyone knows the Titanic sank.
You may want to begin that film as if the audience doesn't know what happens and work your way toward the tragedy, or you may want to begin your film with the ship sinking and spend the rest of the film showing viewers how it happened.
cyclical structure:
The Titanic sinks in the first scene, we flash back to see how we get there, and we watch it sink again at the conclusion.
You believe that people don't actually learn from their mistakes, but rather keep repeating them throughout their lives.

Human history is a drama in which the stories stay the same, the scripts of those stories change slowly with evolving cultures and the stage setting change all the time. So it is that we see our 20th century selves mirrored in Shakespeare, Homer, and the Bible. So to the extent The MM-M is about people and teams, obsolesence should be slow.

In Hindu mythology, deities and demons assume different incarnations to fight the same battles repeatedly.
p.289
It is the old conflict between the concepts of the open system and the closed, between the forces of centralized order and those of dispersed variety. The antagonists assume new forms, the general change, but essentially the same battles are fought over and over again.

16 With reference to the narrative of events, far from permitting myself to derive it from the first source that came to hand, I did not even trust my own impression, but it rests partly on what I saw myself, partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report being always tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible. My conclusions have cost me some labor from the want of coincidence between accounts of the same occurrences by different eyewitnesses, arising sometimes from imperfect memory, sometimes from undue partially for one side or the other. The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but I shall be content if it is judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it. My history has been composed to be an everlasting possession, not the show piece of an hour.

cooking, traveling, cleaning
If new activities (say airplane flight instead of walking) are reformulated into elemental dimensions for analysis (how much time is spent in daily moving), the new behaviors often exhibit a continuous pattern with the odd that can be extrapolated (and predicted) into the future. Instead of walking a half hour to work, you now drive a half hour to work. In the future, you may fly a half hour to work.

Tracing an invariant optimization point can often alert us to a clean pocket of predictability.

Among them are a lifespan that can be plotted as an S-shaped curve: slow birth, steep growth, slow decline.
