Engineers create machines that interact with the surrounding physical reality for different purposes such as delivering a payload in orbit, controlling a chemical process, etc. These machines execute control laws in the cyber/computer domain and use sensors and actuators to gauge and affect the surrounding environment. In the process of developing such machines, we have to create synthetic realities which numerically re-create the physical laws in computers and in the laboratory, which we use to verify the control laws accordingly. Luckily, digital control computers are not able to tell if they are operating in their real environment or in synthetic ones, provided we supply them with consistent information which accurately mimics the behavior of the real processes, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Ultimately, we tell computers what type of laws they are ought to control; they can’t tell by themselves. Developing cyber-physical systems such as space systems requires a layered simulation-centric approach which will also need two- and three-dimensional visualization capabilities.
