lastmod 2020-12-09created 2020-10-076 edits
An emulator replicates one system on another system, so that the second system behaves like the first. This focus on exactly reproducing external behavior is the opposite of simulation, because simulation is often concerned with an abstract model of the system being imitated, in relation to its internal state.
