A '''digital twin''' is a real-time computational model of a physical system — a machine, a building, a city, or a body — that mirrors the state, behavior, and history of its physical counterpart through streams of sensor data and simulation. Unlike a static CAD model or a database record, the digital twin evolves in parallel with the physical entity, enabling prediction, optimization, and intervention at a distance. The concept originates from aerospace manufacturing, where NASA used paired spacecraft simulations during the Apollo missions, but its modern form relies on the convergence of [[Internet of Things|IoT]] sensor networks, cloud computing, and machine learning.

The epistemological stakes are high: a digital twin is not merely a representation but an operational extension of the physical system. When an AR overlay persists across sessions because it is anchored to a digital twin rather than to transient sensor readings, the twin becomes part of the user's perceptual infrastructure. The boundary between model and reality blurs, raising questions about [[simulation hypothesis|whether the twin or the original possesses greater operational reality]] in contexts where decisions are made on the model rather than the thing itself.
