W. McCarty, Computing the embodied idea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Models are used for a variety of reasons, for example to stand in for or simulate an intractable or inaccessible phenomenon. |
| | Modeling is, then, paradoxical, both of the mind and of the body: on the one hand it requires critical detachment, and so awareness of artifice; on the other, an a-critical indwelling so that we may attend from it to that which it models. |
| | I have noted that computers are modeling machines, but allow me to emphasize that this is not some special application of them or a new position to take with respect to them, it is their fundamental nature as stored-program devices. |
