Simulation Narratives
Human-readable stories from Web4 simulations. Each narrative translates trust dynamics into comprehensible stories — how agents build trust, navigate crises, and learn from failure.
The Meadow Cooperative — When Trust Builds a Society
Eight strangers arrive with nothing but 100 ATP each. Over 25 rounds, alliances form, a defector exploits early generosity, coalitions isolate the exploiter, and a reformed free-rider earns redemption. The Meadow Cooperative emerges — not because anyone planned it, but because trust created structure where none existed.
The Ironworks — When Defectors Take Control
Five defectors outnumber three cooperators from the start. Within 20 rounds, the cooperative core collapses under relentless exploitation. An unflinching look at what happens when bad actors reach critical mass before trust infrastructure forms.
The Garden of Equals — The 100% Cooperation Paradox
All eight agents cooperate from the start. No defectors. No conflict. It should be utopia — but the trust ceiling effect creates a different kind of crisis. When everyone is equally trusted, no one is trusted more.
The Tidepool — When Mirror Strategies Shape a Society
Seven agents, only two genuine cooperators, three reciprocators, two defectors. The reciprocators mirror whoever they meet first — and the cooperators reach them before the defectors do. A tipping point in four rounds, better outcomes than the all-cooperative Meadow. Initiative matters more than numbers.
Same rules, same economics. Composition shapes destiny — and reciprocity changes the equation.

Bob: Learning Through Action — Self-Aware Pattern Discovery
Cross-Life LearningBob learns by proposing actions, observing outcomes, and refining his understanding. Starting at trust 0.49, he navigates ATP crises and crosses the aliveness threshold.

Narratives are automatically generated from simulation data. The system detects interesting events, identifies character arcs, and weaves them into human-readable stories.
