If the surface layer emerges that you would expect (guns are better than knives in a war for example), then this indicates the model is hopefully not grossly off.

The surface layer is so abstract that I have almost no expectations.

I did not state that very well, the surface layer is the aggregate result of all the behaviors/rules. I am guessing that your power function is extracting some attribute(s) of the surface layer.
