00300	PREFACE
00400		Something "artificial" is manmade. Someone "paranoid" believes
00500	others have malevolent intentions towards him.
00600		A computer simulation of paranoid processes involves the
00700	construction and testing of a complex symbolic model. To understand
00800	such a model and its roles it is necessary to grasp the symbol processing
00900	viewpoint. I have tried to spell out sufficient background knowledge for this
01000	viewpoint to aid the interested scientific reader.
01100		I am indebted to co-workers who collaborated with me in the model's development.
01200	Sylvia Weber Russell wrote the bulk of the program. Franklin Dennis Hilf
01300	was primarily responsible for the validation studies. Helena Kraemer
01400	assisted in the design of the experiments
01500	and in the statistical methods used.
