Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1 Preface and introduction -- 2 The basic description of Model T -- 3 Ontological categories for T -- 4 Uniformity and diversiformity of histories and of maximally composite momentary states -- 5 Actuality and other modalities for T -- 6 The physics of H* -- 7 Five T-metaphysical issues and the metaphysics of Reality -- Index of concepts and principles -- Backmatter
Summary: This book models and simulates metaphysics by presenting the metaphysics of a model. The small size of the model makes it possible to treat metaphysical matters with a more than usual systematicity and comprehensiveness. In the mirror of sustained analogy, simulation-metaphysics offers a wealth of insights on the real thing: on the doctrines, the methods, and the epistemology of metaphysics.
