Monday, May 18th, 2009You want your model to work in reality, and therefore you have to assume that others have their own models.
It is a game. Like playing chess. Or the usual “prisoner’s dilemma”.

GMN2009: Reality
Friday, May 15th, 2009When you build a model of reality, you try to reduce complexity.

Actually, it means also reducing the number of parameters- and, therefore, making any evolution in your world more predictable.
But reality is not necessarily limited by your definition: and managing the reality within a model requires more that planning beforehand for what you know, in terms of activities or risks.
You have also to identify what is the “normal” way in which your model will react to unexpected changes in the “reality” surrounding your model.
