Abstract

Consider the mode of enquiry that involves thinking about thinking. The expansion methodology originates within it, from an analysis of the thought processes presiding upon the construction of any mathematical models of any realities. The focal point of this paper is a discussion of the relations between the expansion methodology, mathematical modeling, and spatial econometrics.
