From Stephen Rowe
In an earlier life I was responsible for the design and operation of computer simulations used to assist decision making in the oil and gas industry. These were as comprehensive and realistic as we could make them, within time and budget constraints. They were well regarded by all concerned and their results were used to help make multimillion-dollar real-world decisions.
But if you looked closely at some of the underlying modelling assumptions, you might discover some inconsistencies – anomalies even. The anomalies Brooks describes might indicate that we are living inside a computer simulation: one built in some haste, to a budget!
