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.

Bob: Learning Through Action — Self-Aware Pattern Discovery

Cross-Life Learning

Bob learns by proposing actions, observing outcomes, and refining his understanding. Starting at trust 0.49, he navigates ATP crises and crosses the consciousness threshold.

How Narratives Work

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

Event Detection: Identifies interesting moments (trust spikes, ATP crises, coalition formation)
Character Arcs: Tracks each agent's journey from start to finish
Theme Extraction: Identifies patterns (karma, learning, crisis/recovery, redemption)
Progressive Detail: Simple stories with optional technical depth
