Digital Twin Works™: What is a Digital Twin? ... Physical Twin?
Digital Twin Works™ is a virtual community dedicated to Digital Twin and Digital Engineering technologies, including tools, processes, and enterprise architecture frameworks.
Digital Twin technologies are important for technology experts and users (nearly everyone) to understand, since they will dramatically transform how humans interact with progressively intelligent (via AI and Machine Learning) Systems-of-Systems. Here you will find information related to the synergistic application of Digital Engineering technologies, including, but not limited to: Agile MBSE, Mathematical & Dynamic M&S, Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML), 3D CAD & 3D Printing, and Virtual & Augmented Reality (VR/AR).

Digital Twin vs. Physical Twin Equivalency Test
[Kobryn 2017] Digital Twin vs. Physical Twin Equivalency Test
"A reasonable litmus test for a Digital Twin is analogous to the Turing Test for AI. Let:
- ST = System Tester
- PS = Physical System
- PT = Physical Twin representation of PS
- DT = Digital Twin of PT
- V&V-TS = robust Verification & Validation Test Suite shared by PT and DT
If ST executes V&V-TS against both PT and DT, but cannot reliably distinguish DT from PT with probability greater than 80%, then DT is a bona fide Digital Twin of PT:
P(ST correctly distinguishes DT from PT | V&V-TS) <= 0.80— Cris Kobryn, Founder & CTO, PivotPoint Technology Corp. (2017)
