Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic experienced very well-documented “waves” of the virus’ progression, which can be analyzed to predict future wave
behavior. Common wave shape patterns can be identified in real-time
data, to predict the pattern of mutations that have recently occurred,
but have not become popularly known as yet, to predict the remaining
future outcome of the wave. By only considering the patterns in the
data that could possibly have acted in tandem to generate the observed
results, many false patterns can be eliminated, and, therefore, hidden
variables can be estimated to a very high degree of probability.
Similar mathematical relationships can reveal hidden variables in
other underlying differential equations.
