Answer
We assume that the growth rate decreases as the population increases:
r' = r (1 – N/K)
r and K are constants. K is the “carrying capacity of the system.
dN=r 1−N /K Ndt

Pierre Simon de Laplace envisaged a superhuman intelligence capable of knowing the position at any time of every particle in the universe and all the forces acting on them. For this intelligence “...nothing would be uncertain and the future, as the past, would be present to its eyes. The human mind offers, in the perfection which it has been able to give to astronomy, a feeble idea of this intelligence.” (1814)

A fundamental tacit assumption
What scientists actually believed was this: from approximately the same causes follow approximately the same efects – in nature as well as in any good experiment. And this is indeed often the case, especially over short time spans. If this were not so, we could not be able to ascertain any natural laws, nor could we build any functioning machines.

What can we learn from this?1
It is important to know if a system is stable, unstable or chaotic.
When a system is very unstable or chaotic we cannot make exact predictions, and we normally cannot improve accuracy by more accurate measurements.

“Why is [Euclidean] geometry often described as “cold” and “dry”? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline, or a tree. Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.”
Benoit Mandelbrot: The Fractal Geometry of Nature (1977)
