Curated local hub

Which system or story would you like to test?

Choose a social simulation to compare rules, a story to explore choices, or a playground to draw your own model. These are unnumbered entry points, not a required course. A toy society or authored conversation offers a perspective, not a prediction about real people.

12 local routes grouped into systems, stories, and editable playgrounds.

Start here

If you only open one route first, start with The Evolution of Trust. Compare cooperation and retaliation across repeated rounds, then ask which rules explain the result. Replay tests the game's assumptions; it does not prove how every relationship works.
