Where do you all see modelling fitting in to this dissociation of the field into complimentary parts? For me, it's definitely an activity somewhere in the middle, but for many empirical people it's seen as pointless or otherwise misunderstood.

Above I made a typo. I meant to link to http://redistrict.science — what kind of modelling is that? It uses data but it doesn't really predict anything in and of itself.

I'd be say/guess in cognitive (neuro)science you span the part of the spectrum ranging from theoretical modeling to data modeling. (the 1 dimension is a simplification ofc). And your gerrymandering work is an example of mathematical/computational modeling for social engineering?
-
Yeah, exactly. BTW TIL because I have no idea social engineering meant what you just used it as! I only knew it as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security) …

Oh! That meaning I indeed did not mean. I constructed it on the fly, so perhaps I deviate from common usage.

No, you used the right phrase! And I learned something! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(political_science) …
