On the Disanalogy in the Simulation Argument
simulation argument urn analogy thought experiment paradox Sleeping Beauty problem Emerald case Doomsday argument probability
2016/5/30
I propose in this paper a solution to the problem arising from the Simulation argument. I describe first Bostrom's Simulation Argument in detail and its inherent problem. I recall then the implicit an...
Against the inappropriate use of numerical representation in social simulation
numbers measurement theory social simulation philosophy of science
2015/7/30
All tools have their advantages and disadvantages and for all tools there are times when they are appropriate and times when they are not. Formal tools are no exception to this and systems of numbers ...
Artificial Science–a simulation test-bed for studying the social processes of science
simulation science publishing philosophy of science distributed artificial intelligence theorem proving forward chaining agents
2015/7/30
it is likely that there are many different social processes occurring in different parts of science and at different times, and that these processes will impact upon the nature, quality and quantity o...
Theoretical technologies in an “experimental” setting: empirical modeling of proteinic objects and simulation of their dynamics within scientific collaborations around a supercomputer
biophysics protein chemistry models simulation experimental data
2009/9/8
This paper examines, as a case study, some modeling and simulating practices in protein chemistry. In this field, theorists try to grasp proteinic objects by constructing models of their structures an...
Whether simulation models provide the right kind of understanding comparable to that of analytic models has been and remains a contentious issue. The assessment of understanding provided by simulation...
Simulation as an epistemic tool between theory and practice:A comparison of the relationship between theory and simulation in science and folk psychology
folk psychology
2008/4/21
In this paper I explore the concept of simulation that is employed by proponents of the so-called simulation theory within the debate about the nature and scientific status of folk psychology. Accordi...
The Dark Side of the Force: When computer simulations lead us astray and ``model think'' narrows our imagination --- Pre conference draft for the Models and Simulation Conference, Paris, June 12-14 ---
computer simulations
2008/4/21
This paper is intended as a critical examination of the question of when the use of computer simulations is beneficial to scientific explanations. This objective is pursued in two steps: First, I try ...
The Doomsday Simulation Argument. Or why isn't the end nigh and you're not living in a simulation.
doomsday simulation induction skepticism
2008/4/21
According to the Carter-Leslie Doomsday Argument, we should assign a high probability to the hypothesis that the human species will go extinct very soon. The argument is based on the application of Ba...
The Philosophy of Simulation: Hot New Issues or Same Old Stew?
Computer simulation model modelling experiment epistemology of science
2008/4/21
Computer simulations are an exciting tool that plays important roles in many scientific disciplines. This has attracted the attention of a number of philosophers of science. The main tenor in this lit...
Biogeochemical Models in the Environmental Sciences The Dynamical System Paradigm and the Role of Simulation Modeling
models in biogeochemistry dynamical system simulation model self-modifying system complexity
2008/4/7
Dynamical systems are the paradigm for the representation of complex systems. The fixed encoding in a closed set of equations, however, contrasts with the openness of biogeochemical systems. Parameter...
