Samuels|I'm not usually one for philosophy of anything, but this treatise does raise some interesting points about the similarities and differences between analytical modeling, computer simulation and measurement techniques. The discussion of the San Francisco Bay model was fascinating. The comparison of analytical and agen| ||"In my own view, Simulation and Similarity satisfactorily serves such a general purpose, though at a rather formal and abstract level that takes the form of a compilation of advances in meta-theoretical research...

In the 1950s, John Reber convinced many Californians that the best way to solve the state's water shortage problem was to dam up the San Francisco Bay. Against massive political pressure, Reber's opponents persuaded lawmakers that doing so would lead to disaster.
