How do you decide between simulation from reality and simulation from reality?
What is the difference between simulation and reality? Whereas
previous simulations were often accused of predictability and lack of immersion, now it was almost impossible to distinguish a simulation from reality. The
second one is incorrect grammatically but is the first correct under certain circumstances?
Thanks
for sharing.
Both versions are fine. Is there no reason for them either.
The article is used when there is a specific instance of something that you are talking about; without the article, you are generally talking about the idea of something (without instantiation).
In your example sentence, you might use an article if you were at a virtual reality exposition and comparing VR gear from different specific vendors—or different VR worlds provided by the same vendor.
Similarly, in fiction it is possible to talk about different specific realities with the use of an article. Even in real world people will often rhetorically refer to your reality or my reality: even if the subject is
of actuality.)
Is the second correct words grammar-wise, but other than grammar-wise?
Can a number of simulations be one or two?
- How can we define simulation as a means that the simulation is realistic now (as opposed to a specific simulation), then we can use simulation in its mass-noun sense and drop the a. In formal English, the “distinguish X from Y” frame does not require a’s even when X and Y are count nouns; hence “distinguish body from soul”.
- What The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language calls “matched nouns” frames that don’t require determiners (chapter 5 section 8). The history of this area (including the history from father to son, from beginning to end) explains many, if not all, of marriages of husband and wife, and mother and daughter.
What we value about life to people, and how important it is for them, to be able to understand the world? (as individuals/company),
