The Model of The Maze Is A Simulacrum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacrum

What is a simulacrum? Plato went to painstaking lengths to distinguish the essence of a thing being derived from the idea of a that thing. A representation of a person that uses illusion to convince you that something is real is a simulacrum. The simulacrum is considered inferior because it lacks the substance of a thing. In horror movies, the uncanny are often presented as something of close likeness, but on closer examination it is something dead. A corpse lacks the substance of a soul, it resembles a person but should be inanimate.
Simulacra have long been of interest to philosophers. In his Sophist, Plato speaks of two kinds of image-making. The first is a faithful reproduction, attempted to copy precisely the original. The second is intentionally distorted in order to make the copy appear correct to viewers. He gives the example of Greek statuary, which was crafted larger on the top than on the bottom so that viewers on the ground would see it correctly. If they could view it in scale, they would realize it was malformed. This example from the visual arts serves as a metaphor for the philosophical arts and the tendency of some philosophers to distort the truth so that it appears accurate unless viewed from the proper angle.[5] Nietzsche addresses the concept of simulacrum (but does not use the term) in the Twilight of the Idols, suggesting that most philosophers, by ignoring the reliable input of their senses and resorting to the constructs of language and reason, arrive at a distorted copy of reality.[6]
Examples of Simulacrums
In the occult, simulacrum are used as a representation to control a person. A voodoo doll is an example. There are other examples, such as Frankenstein, a collection of body parts but not a single, real person brought to life. Or a golem from Jewish Cabal where the likeness of a man is made from clay then animated. Prague has legends of the Golem which protected the Jewish quadrant.

The Twins Aren’t Twins At All

Many claim the sisters are twins, but they are actually the embodiment of simulacrum. One is larger, because she is older. Kubrick could have used actual twins, but he chose to use a 10 and 9 year old. They are similar, but that are not twins. In the opening interview, Ullman explained to Jack Torrence that the girls were 8 and 10 years old. The girls are similar to make you consider them as twins, but it is an illusion. Look at their height difference, the slight differences in their dresses. A simulacrum is a close approximation, but it is not a copy. The Overlook has many things that may be a close copy to reality, but there are differences, hard to spot like the differences in the “twins”.

Is The Model Scene All In Jack’s Head?
