Re: Modeling vs. Simulation [from "fundamental problems in physics"]

Jack,
whatever you call it...I tried several times to see what a 'wiki' may be but
never got further than that. Wikipedia always went astray from what I was
seeking. So I lost interest in it.
I am sorry that Judith seems negative in establishing a  Rosen-language for
OUR use - it would help US refute objections of people who really have no
idea what Rosen had in mind.
In my view Robert Rosen speculated and spoke with lots of smart people. He
calrified ideas to a better format than expressed earlier in his life. This
is a natural way of a scientist. Consequently referring to concepts etc. one
can quote earlier and later formulations - connotations and this is
sometimes the foundation of many hundered line long discussions - upon which
I mentioned in earlier years the 'homousion - homoiusion' example.
I try to follow the 'latest' Rosenism, because I believe that he went
positive.
He started out - as other scientists wet from college - as a reductionist
and only later started to "think". I am in search of his most 'mature'
ideas. (And
please, Judith, do not look for a mental insubordination in that).

Jack, could you lead me to an URL where I "get" what the 'wiki' does?
