Simulations allow us to stage actual interactions among a population of agents and to observe the emergent wholes that result from those interactions. Simulations have become as important as mathematical models in theoretical science. As computer power and memory have become cheaper they have migrated to the desktop, Emergence (Philosophy)Electronic books.Emergence (Philosophy)116De Landa Manuel281739MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460112703321Philosophy and simulation2087836UNINA
