In this paper we explore the hypothesis that constrained uses of imagination are crucial to economic modeling. We propose a theoretical framework develop thesis through number specific hypotheses test and refine six new, representative case studies. Our ultimate goal is philosophical account practice oriented informed by empirical evidence. To do this, deploy an abductive reasoning strategy. st...

Non-linear continuous change is common in realworld problems, especially those that model physical systems. We present an algorithm which builds upon existent temporal planning techniques based on linear programming to approximate non-linear continuous monotonic functions. These are integrated through a semantic attachment mechanism, allowing external libraries or functions that are difficult t...
