Compare with Definitions
Simulacra
An image or representation.
Simulation
A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time.
Simulacra
An unreal or vague semblance.
Simulation
The act or process of simulating.
Simulacra
Plural of simulacrum

Simulation
An imitation; a sham.
Simulation
Assumption of a false appearance.
Simulation
Imitation or representation, as of a potential situation or in experimental testing.
Simulation
Representation of the operation or features of one process or system through the use of another
Computer simulation of an in-flight emergency.
Simulation
Something that simulates a system or environment in order to predict actual behaviour.
This exercise is a simulation of actual battle conditions.

Simulation
The process of simulating.

Simulation
Assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true.
Simulation

Simulation
The act of simulating, or assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true; - distinguished from dissimulation, which disguises or conceals what is true.
Simulation
(computer science) the technique of representing the real world by a computer program;
A simulation should imitate the internal processes and not merely the results of the thing being simulated
Simulation
The act of imitating the behavior of some situation or some process by means of something suitably analogous (especially for the purpose of study or personnel training)
Simulation

Simulation
