How to predict & control ghost movement in Pac-Man [closed]

Solution 1:

After reading through the The Pac-Man Dossier, as suggested in the comments, I understand a little more about how broad this question actually is. I expected several layers of explanation, but a proper answer really depends on comprehensive insight into nearly every one of the game's mechanics.

(The dossier is long & detailed. There is no easy way to copy just the relevant portions; and putting all of it here in a readable format would probably be flagrant plagiarism, and is not a good fit for this site.)
