Divergent, by Veronica Roth

- Typically, each stage of the simulation eliminates one or more of the factions, but in your case, only two have been ruled out.
p. 20.9simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is(editor's note: In this novel, people placed in a simulation don't know things aren't real. Outside of the novel, people know when they are in a simulation--as when a pilot practices flying a particular type of aircraft without ever leaving the ground.)
- If you had shown an automatic distaste for the knife and selected the cheese, the simulation would have led you to a different scenario that confirmed your aptitude for Amity.
p. 21.2simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is

p. 230.1
- Simulations aren't real; they pose no real threat to me, so logically, I shouldn't be afraid of them, but my reaction is visceral.
p. 230.2simulations = non-real environments (made to seem real)editor's notes: To say "my reaction is visceral" is like saying "I feel it in my gut." In this novel, people in such non-real environments typically don't know things aren't real. Outside of the novel, any such environment is probably used for a game or a training exercise--as when a pilot practices flying a particular type of aircraft without ever leaving the ground.
