TL;DR: A new metric is developed, termed configuration disagreement, designed to focus on the size, shape, and complexity of land change simulations, and reveals why it may be more helpful to validate simulations in terms of configuration accuracy, if a study requires accurately modeling the spatial patterns and arrangements of land cover.
