The aim of this paper is to argue that simulation is the activity of inferring future states. I argue that
simulations instantiate models and that models are complexes of representations, so the infe...

Simulation techniques, especially those implemented on a computer, are frequently employed in natural as well as in social sciences with considerable success. There is mounting evidence that the "mode...
A computer simulation runs a model generating a phenomenon under investigation. For the simulation to be explanatory, the model has to be explanatory. The model must be isomorphic to the natural syste...
