- Sun, Ron: Cognition and Multi-Agent Interaction: From Cognitive Modelling to Social Simulation [[posted]] (specials, ai, simulation, social simulation)
This is about cognitive modeling and simulation, and reviews some technology that has been used in current work. This is relevant for directing work, but also for seeing where embedded value systems permeate current AI and cognition research.
- Epstein, Joshua: Generative Social Science: Studies in Agent-Based Computational Modelling [[posted]] (ai, simulation, social simulation, specials)
- Epstein, Joshua and Axtell, Robert: Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science from the Bottom Up [[posted]] (specials, ai, simulation, social simulation)
Discusses a simulation-based approach to social science. The approach is flawed because of its failure to consider the consequences of the simulated model.
- Baudrillard, Jean: Simulations [[posted]] (specials, media theory, simulation, semiotics)
Baudrillard defines a perspective on simulation as a cultural and philosophical concept. Baudrillard\'s simulation is important in understanding computational simulation.

- Uexkull, Jakob von: A Stroll Through the Worlds of Animals and Men: A Picture Book of Invisible Worlds (simulation)
This is a little fanciful, but Uexkull uses a visual language to describe how cognition is embedded in perception. This also uses the idea that this sort of selective perception creates worlds.
