Conclusion
The article describes hypothetical modeling, a process that occupies an important place in theoretical and applied activity, but still remains outside the scope of mainstream research in computer and information sciences. The problems of hypothetical modeling constitute a well-defined, goal-directed class of problems, which can provide a fruitful field for the application of computer systems. The article has identified the main methods of hypothetical modeling and has introduced a number of new concepts and estimates that reflect the author's experience in this area. Our knowledge of hypothetical modeling requires further systematization and development of an efficient methodology. I would like to acknowledge the useful comments of Prof. Z. L. Rabinovich.
