Resumen de Causality in the context of analytical models and numerical experiments

Ramji Balakrishnan, Mark Penno

• Intuition tends to guide model formulation, as it is generally impossible to consider all dimensions of a problem. The ability to surprise, heightening the focus on paradox and the contradiction of reality, is therefore more useful than a literal representation of reality. While numerical experiments are useful in exploring patterns not well suited to analytic approaches, features of the model that underlies the experiment determines the experiments� ability to provide insight and offer surprise.
