Causal Complexity

Yarkoni’s argument risks skepticism about the very possibility of social science: If social phenomena are too causally complex, normal scientific methods could not possibly untangle them. We argue that the problem of causal complexity is best approached at the level of scientific communities and institutions, not the modeling practices of individual scientists.

Abstract The analysis of three-dimensional shell structures submerged in an infinite fluid and subjected to arbitrary loadings is a computationally demanding problem regardless of the analytical technique used. Over the past several years, we have developed a combined finite/infinite element method of solving this class of problems that is more efficient than other available techniques, and have implemented it in a comprehensive set of computer programs called SARA. This paper presents an overview of our work in parallizing this software. In the first part of the paper, we describe our method for solving the fluid-structure interaction equations including infinite element theory, and modeling practices that have evolved for solving cylindrical geometries. The second part of the paper addresses parallalization of SARA-3D on both shared and distributed memory architectures. The SARA implementation of the method is described along with sample problems, and a comparison to a SARA-3D solution is provided.

Drawing has always been the most powerful instrument for the conceptualization, interpretation and representation of spaces and forms. Today, the computer screen complements the eye-brain telescope with an additional lens that increases the ability to understand, visualize and ultimately design the built environment. Computational design is dramatically shifting not only established drawing and modeling practices, but also ? and perhaps most importantly ? design thinking processes in the very conception and morphogenesis of forms and of their complex relationships in space. Specifically parametric modeling allows to understand geometry and manipulate shapes in dynamic, articulated and yet intuitive ways, opening up unprecedented design opportunities but also diminishing the importance of the design process for the sake of formal complexity. This chapters offers some insights on the incredible design opportunities offered by new computational instruments, as well as highlighting circumstances in which the act of ‘modeling' takes over the ‘design.'
