Simulation, Representation, and Cartography: Compiling a Virtual Atlas Simulation, Representation, and Cartography: Compiling a Virtual Atlas Johannes Lenhard Bielefeld University Simulation modeling resembles map-making in an important way: Both aim at constructing devices for orientation and for intervention. The reference to reality or the terrain, however, is far from straightforward. Rather, the result of simulation modeling can be conceived of as a virtual atlas – an object different from a traditional atlas. It consists of a huge compilation of local maps that do not match up to a general overview. Only in a computational setting such an atlas can be used as an orientation device. 1. Introduction It is a commonplace that “the map is not the territory.” The phrase goes back to Alfred Korzybski (1931), while the insight—formulated by insisting on an apparent triviality—is surely older and has received poetical expressions from Lewis Carroll and Jorge Luis Borges among others. The difference between map and territory is a difference of categories and is at the base of the representation relation. Hence maps play a prominent role in the dis- course about representation which takes place in a number of disciplines and from different perspectives. Three of them are of special interest for the present paper. One influential view has been put forward by historian of art Ernst Gombrich in his classical lecture on “Mirror and Map” (1975) where he states that the mirror opens up a sophisticated play of representation, whereas the map is less interesting because it (just) presents a well-defined scientific I would like to thank Anne Marcovich, Terry Shinn, the audiences of the conferences “Imaging NanoSpace” and “Models and Simulations 5,” and also two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.

It dismisses the above description of maps as an overly rationalistic and his- torically inappropriate model. To think maps would be different from art or painting because they create a straightforward similitude to reality would be to fall prey to an “illusion of map-making”—states historian of cartog- raphy Brain Harley (2001, p. 154). The philosophy of science contributes a third perspective: It has discovered maps as an interesting topic because they are related both to objectivity and conventions, hence can serve as a resource to scrutinize the ways scientific knowledge is organized. The present paper will bring together all three perspectives on science and map-making, and it will utilize them to investigate and probe a claim about simulation modeling and its relationship to mapping. The main claim holds that simulation modeling resembles map-making in an im- portant way and can be compared to compiling a virtual atlas. However, this virtual atlas is different from a regular one. While the latter is comprised of a number of local maps that together cover a certain territory, its virtual counterpart resembles the compilation of particular itineraries. The argu- mentation will proceed in the following way. Section two will briefly introduce the discussion of map-making in the philosophy of science. The standard account treats maps as a paradigm for representation that is based on an isomorphic relationship. Such an account tends to see maps as generic objects of little particular philosophical inter- est. For more than a decade, the topic of maps and map-making is re- ceiving increasing attention, connected to a practice turn and to a turn from theories to models. The analysis of map-making has enriched the con- ceptual repertoire one can use to think and debate about representation. The fact that there are several maps of the same territory that are useful for different purposes has inspired the debate about the (non)uniqueness of knowledge representations. In particular, it will be discussed how the pluralist stance of Helen Longino (2002) and the realist position of Philip Kitcher (2001) combine. A second and especially important aspect con- cerns the global versus local character of maps and how maps of different scales are systematically related. This relationship will be helpful to ana- lyze simulation modeling, namely my pointing out the difference between (general) maps and a compilation of particular itineraries. Section three will introduce nanoscale research as a field where map- making and simulation modeling both play important roles. Two types of images will be distinguished. The first type is produced by scanning 1. Various scholars have embraced similar views, cf. Arnheim 1986; Eco 1976; Goodman 1968. Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/POSC_a_00180 by guest on 28 September 2021 388 Simulation, Representation, and Cartography tunnel microscopy; it is a popular one and displays molecular landscapes that suggest space metaphors for nano of great rhetorical force. The second type is images produced by simulation models that from the outset do not appear to be map-like. A case from tribology, i.e. the study of friction, where molecular dynamics simulations are employed, will be introduced and discussed for illustration. It will be argued that the first type of image appears map-like by a rather superficial analogy, while the second type in fact exhibits an inter- esting functional analogy between simulation modeling and map-making. The philosophical account of mapping considerably profits when com- plemented by considerations and material from the history of cartography. This will be undertaken in the fourth section. Historians of cartography have articulated fundamental criticisms of the “ideology of map-making” that takes maps for objective and neutral representations. Rather, they conceive of map-making as an activity that is carried out in a historical and political context. To them, maps are constructed as orientation devices and to provide options for interventions in very particular contexts. The “Great Survey” of India that the British Empire conducted (Edney 1997) will serve as source for illustration. In effect, the material will vindicate the connection between map-making and modeling. Section five will pull the threads together. The philosophical and historical discussion of mapping will be utilized to analyze simulation modeling. The notions of prediction, negotiation, and locality will play a central role. It will be argued that simulation modeling can indeed be compared to map- making: both activities create devices for orientation and for intervention. The result of simulation modeling can be conceived of as a virtual atlas— an object that differs from a regular atlas in important ways. It consists of a huge compilation of particular itineraries that do not match up with a gen- eral overview; rather they lack the relation to something like an ordinance survey map that would integrate the local maps. Only in a computational setting, it is claimed, can such an atlas be used as an orientation device. 2. Representation and the Map-Making Paradigm Maps serve as an interesting issue for philosophy of science because they are examples of representations that are systematic and successful (in a sense to be specified) and therefore can serve as a prima facie point of reference for investigating scientific knowledge in general. However, a common view in epistemology does demand strict measures of objectivity for knowledge. If maps should be a point of reference, doesn’t that demand highest stan- dards of objectivity for maps and map-making, too? Some practice-oriented philosophers of science have turned around the perspective and asked what the investigation of map-making can tell about scientific epistemology. Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/POSC_a_00180 by guest on 28 September 2021 Perspectives on Science 389 Scholars like Ron Giere, Philip Kitcher, and Helen Longino – leaving aside relevant differences between them – all invoke the example of map-making when they critically debate central features of knowledge and representation. The common point of departure of these authors is to explain how scien- tific knowledge deserves the character of a success term without relying on a rigid truth standard that hardly fits any aspect of scientific practice. At the same time, knowledge shall keep its truth standard. This attempt has led them to consider maps as a paradigm case: map-making can produce suc- cessful devices in a systematic way. Three aspects will be addressed in the following: instrumental character, pluralism, and systematic connectivity. Stephen Toulmin is an important voice in appreciating the significance of maps. He devotes chapter four of his introduction to philosophy of science (1960) to “theories and maps.” Toulmin points out that neither theories nor maps have a deductive connection to facts. Maps serve as a paradigm case that should inform our thinking about laws: they are not strictly derived from the terrain, though one can read off propositions about geographical facts. Thus, for Toulmin, maps and natural laws have in common their character as instruments: both are orientation devices—in a terrain (maps) or in a range of phenomena (laws). The term “orientation” here is not restricted to the spatial sense. Laws can

  • 1. Cartography: the Development and Critique of Maps and Mapmaking
    1. Cartography: the development and critique of maps and mapmaking Maps ‘are once again in the thick of it’ for critical social theorists, artists, literary critics and cultural geographers, but also in a very different way for planners, GIS researchers and scientists. Art and science offer different cartographic explanations. There are profound differences between those who research mapping as a practical form of applied knowledge, and those who seek to critique the map and the mapping process. (Perkins 2003: 341-342) Cartography is the study of maps and map-making. Classically, it focused on the art of the map-maker; today it includes the history of maps and their use in society. A map, as defined by the International Cartographic Association (2009), is ‘a symbolised image of geographical reality, representing selected features or characteristics, resulting from the creative effort of its author's execution of choices, and is designed for use when spatial relationships are of primary relevance’. While this definition eloquently indicates the varying constructions of maps, leading to the different ways maps are conceptualised and produced within society, its basic premise -- that a map is first and foremost ‘a symbolised image of a geographical reality’ -- has been challenged with the rise of a critical cartography/geography. Taking this definition as a starting premise, this chapter will seek to illustrate the ‘creativity’ and ‘selectivity’ of maps through a brief history of cartography, before embarking in later sections on a more critical analysis of the debates that surround the subject. The primary goal here is to understand the lessons that can be drawn from the historical development of cartography in a bid to assist contemporary criminologists in the development of more appropriate questions about maps and ultimately the process of crime mapping itself.

  • History of Cartography by Trista L
    Name Date History of Cartography By Trista L. Pollard Our view of the world has changed since 1500 years ago. The maps and globes we use today are very accurate. They show more details. You can see cities and countries. They show landforms and landmarks. Our maps now have a standard coordinate or grid system. This measurement system helps us to locate places on Earth. But what about the first maps? What are they like? How were they made? Let's take a journey into the history of cartography. Cartography is the science of making maps. Today's cartographers use computers and cameras to help make maps. This is called remote sensing. Cameras are placed or mounted on airplanes. These cameras take pictures of the Earth's surface. Satellites in space are also used for cartography. Mapmakers in the past had much less technology. They used observation and stories from sailors to make maps. Most early scientists believed the Earth was flat. Imagine sailing from your country and falling over a cliff! That's what people thought. They also thought Earth was a flat disc. The center of the disc was filled with people. The outer edges of the Earth were empty. A world map made as early as 500 B.C. showed a disc with two continents. These continents were Europe and Asia. Both were surrounded by an ocean. That makes sense! Most people only knew about their surrounding or immediate area. Geographers also found early maps of the Pacific Ocean. They were made by navigators from Polynesia or the Pacific Islands.

  • Beginning Spatial Analysis
    What Do You Want to Know? Beginning Spatial Analysis By Monica Pratt, ArcUser Editor New GIS users who are just getting to know the ArcGIS suite of tools for capturing, managing, and presenting geospatial data sometimes overlook one of the most exciting, powerful, and distinctive capabilities of GIS—spatial analysis. This article introduces new users to some basic spatial analysis concepts and techniques using ArcMap, one of the desktop applications of ArcGIS. Although the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst and ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extensions supply additional tools, the basic spatial analysis functionality of ArcGIS is powerful and directly available through tools and menu choices. Simply put, spatial analysis encompasses all the operations performed on geographic data that add value. GIS is an information system, and like any information system, it is designed to produce answers. Spatial analysis can be used in an inductive, deductive, or normative manner. Inductive analysis studies the data to discern patterns that might be used to support theories or derive general principles. It can be used to help answer questions such as “Why do some areas have especially high rates of a certain type of cancer?” Deductive applications use geospatial Symbolizing earthquake events using a single point symbol does show where earthquakes have data to test existing theories or principles.

  • Exploratory Three Dimensional Cartographic Visualisation of Geolocated Datasets
    Exploratory Three Dimensional Cartographic Visualisation of Geolocated Datasets A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Design Innovation Alexandre Bannwarth _ this thesis was completed as an online portfolio available at axbwh.thesis.surge.sh Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Figure 1. ​Thann Topographic Street Map. Abstract While digital technologies have vastly facilitated the generation and consumption of cartographic visualisations, the majority still conform to traditional two-dimensional map making guidelines. Consequently, design principles for three-dimensional cartographic models are still in their infancy and require further exploratory research to establish a comprehensive design framework. The free availability of high resolution global digital elevation models (GDEM), such as the ASTER GDEM (NASA LP DAAC, METI, 2011), makes it possible to develop accurate three-dimensional landscape visualisations and offer more intuitive and immersive representation of spatial information. Combined with the prevalence of geolocated content in both online data-repository and social-media platforms, there exists a wealth of material to be mined, interpreted and juxtaposed in exploratory cartographic visualisations. This thesis aims to establish a flexible and iterative procedural workflow to acquire, interpret and visualise 3D geolocated datasets, without compromising aesthetic control. Synergic with the procedural approach required for data collection and analysis, a procedural approach is used in the design of the visual output. This workflow aims to maximise automation and allow for the interpretation of a range of different data sources. The creative output of this process explores emergent cartographic principles for optimal three-dimensional spatial visualisation and investigate data presentation techniques beyond traditional two-dimensional geo-visualisation guidelines.

Pablo Iván Azócar Fernández Gutachter: Herr Prof. Dr. phil.habil. Manfred F. Buchroithner Technische Universität Dresden Herr Prof. Dr. Zsolt G. Török Eötvös Lórand University, Budapest Dresden, February 09, 2012 Die Übereinstimmung dieses Exemplars mit dem Original der Dissertation zum Thema: „Paradigmatic Tendencies in Cartography: A Synthesis of the Scientific-Empirical, Critical and Post-Representational Perspectives“ wird hiermit bestätigt. ……………………………………….…. Ort, Datum Azócar, Pablo ……………………………………….…. Unterschrift (Vorname Name) i Abstract Maps have been important elements of visual representation in the development of different societies, and for this reason they have mainly been considered from a practical and utilitarian point of view. This means that cartographers or mapmakers have largely focused on the technical aspects of the cartographic products, and cartography has given little attention to both its theoretical component and to its philosophical and epistemological aspects. The current study is dedicated to consider these views. In this study the main trends, thoughts and different directions in cartography during positivism/empiricism, neo-positivism and post-structuralism are reviewed; and cartography is analysed under the modernism and post-modernism periods. Some of the arguments proposed by philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper are examined as important contributions in our understanding of the development of cartography and mapping. This study also incorporates the idea or concept of paradigm, which has been taken from the field of the epistemology of sciences.
