        Subject: Re: [Humanist] 35.518: numerical simulation in (digital) humanities?

Dear all,

here is a summary of the responses to my original question thus far:

- Alan Liu on the new "digital twin" (or "digital twinning") field in research
and industry (35.518)

- work by Dr. Gabor Toth on simulation in historical research, for instance, a
forthcoming paper ”Studying Large-Scale Behavioural Differences in Auschwitz-
Birkenau with a Computational Model of Gendered Narratives.”

I have two further questions on this topic.

First, is there, in the context of the humanities and cultural heritage, an
important difference between numerical simulation and simulation in general?

And second, following up on the previous one: in games studies, the concept of
simulation is central; video (and other) games are seen as simulation systems.
Is this relevant to discussions about numerical simulation as a research method?

All the best,

Øyvind
