 Is there a form of scientific communication which optimizes its truth-seeking goals in exploration of a landscape? In a series of agent-based models, agents are communicatively linked explorers situated at specific points on an epistemic landscape (Grim 2006; Grim, Singer et al. 2013). In such a design, simulation can be used to explore the effect of network structure, the topography of the epistemic landscape, and the interaction of the two.
