Then it is clear that a volcano is an individual, therefor idiosyncracies exist but it's character is dependant on environment

hmm...with MAGMA fluid dynamics, I'd imagine there's so much nonlinear action going on I'm not confident this can be an accurate model of it since it's scaled down so much

You're probably right, though they aren't really claiming it to be an accurate model; "may not" is pasted all over the video.

Either way, it's interesting to know... or at least to watch.
