Abstract
Abstract: Simulation applications are becoming increasingly widespread and have a greater impact, while the theoretical foundation of simulation is relatively weak. This article provides a new definition of simulation by analyzing the common activities of simulation, which can include both virtual and real simulation forms; referring to Popper's three worlds theory, this paper discusses the objective authenticity of simulation from a philosophical perspective; From a methodological perspective, this paper elaborates on the methodological characteristics of simulation as an indirect cognitive object, revealing its significance in integrating human-machine intelligence and promoting knowledge evolution. It also discusses the common principles of simulation, such as purposefulness, universality, verifiability, and interpretability, providing theoretical guidance for people to consciously and actively carry out simulation applications according to the laws of simulation.
