Abstract

Simulation can be thought of as the start of all meta-theorising. When one parameterises a model it is only approximately right which leaves one with the problem of fixing it. In this task it can be an extremely useful heuristic if one first undergoes a long and thorough ontological self-analysis. The Lewscogski auto-epistemic self measure enables one to determine the closest model trajectory that will enable hindsighted self-validation, but only in a technical sense. Unfortunately this still leaves the most difficult part - writing the thing and getting it to work. Despite these difficulties we propose such a framework, albeit from a recumbant and abstract position. Further work is indicated.
