Abstract:
Abstract: The causes of failures with the introduction of mathematical methods and computer technology inΒ the management of the Soviet economy in the 1960s are analyzed. The inadequacy of the models intended to build a system for the optimal functioning of the economy to the purposes for which this system was created is shown. According to the author, a similar situation may recur during mass digitalization. The problem of so-called digital twins is raised, primarily in relation to natural (primarily water), economic, and social objects. As in the 1960s, there has been a tendency to ignore the problem of the adequacy of a digital twin under construction to its object in accordance with the purpose of modeling.
