It is possible to describe the problem of simulation adaptation as a variation of compositional modeling. Consider Nayak's statement of the compositional modeling problem (paraphrased):Given

• a query consisting of
  • a list of output variables whose behavior needs to be understood
  • a (possibly empty) list of driving variables that need to be included in ( Read more... )

The main message of my proposal deconstruction yesterday Monday was this: I need to do a better job of telling the story of simulation coercion. So, consider this to be "storytime"...

(This post is LJ-cut for ridiculous length - If I wrote my proposal in LogJam, I could do the whole thing in a day, I think.)

So, I had a monster of a meeting with Paul this morning. (Well, morning and afternoon, actually, as the meeting lasted from 11am until close to 1pm.) The huge issue that Paul identified with my proposal is that I have not gone into enough detail about the subject of model behavior description: Right now, my only examples of model behavior ( Read more... )
