All experience/knowledge comes from three sources: (1) perception, (2) the past (consolidated perception in memory, or mediated by "technology": stories, writing, photo, etc.), or (3) judgment/argument based on perception and past (analogy).

Machine learning algorithms can help to find patterns (coherence) in the "ingredients" (data). As long as the conditions aren 't changed, taking these patterns as it 's starting point, it can extrapolate the ingredients to the (near) future, showing some future developmental possibilities (again, as …

If the length of a piece of paper is measured with a ruler, this is literally measuring a quality of something. On the other hand, a score on a pre-constructed test - an IQ test for example s actually generating an estimate based on empirical data of the extent to which someone will develop (ab)normally …
