Show affiliationsThe Standard Model is a remarkably successful theory of elementary particle interactions on energy scales less than a few hundred Gev. It excludes gravity, so cannot be a complete theory. However, no experiment disagrees sufficiently with the predictions obtained using perturbative approximations to call into question its validity for the other interactions. Its full solution is a major challenge which must be met if we are to have confidence in extending the theoretical framework to much higher energies. As yet unimagined non perturbative mechanisms may be exposed. Computer simulation offers the only known means to this end. This paper explains how the Standard Model may be formulated outside perturbation theory and describes some of the numerical results that have been obtained so far.
