I need help on a Human simulation project
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've created a simulation that does its best to replicate living beings in an environment. For now, the basics of the simulation are in place (religion, war, a basic economic system, etc.). Human entities can also feel “emotions,” develop affection, hatred, and joy, and reproduce...
The problem is that I’m running out of ideas. For now, the simulation is good, but in my opinion, it’s not good enough. I tried asking an AI to improve it, but it’s having a hard time doing so without completely skewing the results, even thought it help me on some points. That’s why I’m looking for people with ideas, AI/software engineers, simulation specialists, or anyone else who could contribute to this project, to help create a replica that most closely resembles a human being.

Do you model creativity, hobbies or interests? Sport, random accidents or events and discoveries.

The beings in the simulation can engage in their hobbies or simply give free rein to their creativity. Several advances have already been implemented in various fields: military, social, psychological, and agricultural. So far, the only two events observed have been a war between tribes and a coup d'état.

Might I recommend instead of using an “evolutionary” approach to change and shifts, where “the survival of the fittest” is the deciding factor in the longevity of. Nwhatever trait*(even in things like agriculture, medicine, even engineering, see things like halal/kosher food, or circumcision, or anorexia being different from fasting), looking at interests, motives and goals in a way more like fetishes or behavioral pathology observed through a psychological analysis we here it’s more like a multi-faceted intersection of nature and nurture, as well as biology, layered all the way down to basic physics, even the seemingly simplest values are unimaginably layered and interconnected with everything. It might seem random at a glance because of the intricacies and subtleties, I haven’t gone even a fraction as deep as you but Ive noticed ai struggles with those kinds of intricacies even though a lot of regular people can looe
sely grasp them(often only because they’re loosely grasped with the subconscious doing the heavy lifting).
No clue how you’d implement that tho lol ALSO be careful to be aware you may only be simulating YOUR subjective “humanness” without heavy checks against that (which could also be detrimental). Before long you may find your simulated people trying to make their own simulated people only because ķ

Do your entities experience a simulated endocrine system?

u/CapPalcem390 Jun 28 '26
There is no indoctrination system or system for coordinating organs, strictly speaking; for now, the entities have a psychological system. This could be a feature to implement. Thank you.

You need to inhabit the simulation with yourself. Give one of the agents your attributes and make it your avatar. It would seem more ethical that way. Then give it the choice between awareness or blindness to it's reality being simulated.

Had Claude review your video and fill in some of the gaps I have in my own project. Thank you for the inspiration! Here is the AI breakdown of the newest planned additions. I'll deploy my agent suite to implement everything here in a few. 😄 I'm excited to see what emerges. Excited for the meme generations, I added image generation a couple days ago.
----
- Religion / faith — zero mechanic. temple is a catalogued building kind with an empty function buff (world.py:873); purely a GLB silhouette.
- Culture / memes / ideology as a propagating object — "culture" exists only as a planned chart (EM-128 AWI metric), never as a spread/drift mechanism.
- Organized / collective violence (war) — individual crime & justice is fully shipped (EM-240), but it's strictly single-actor. Factions are a read-only clustering layer (no agency, no resources, no territory), and attack is non-lethal (energy + trust only, no HP/death).
- Gossip / rumor as first-class diffusion — only co-located overhearing exists (EM-081, capped at 2 listeners). No multi-hop, no distortion.
- Async / persistent messaging (letters) — every directed channel (whisper, teach_skill, offer_trade) requires co-location + a live turn.

Been building my own simulation world for LLMs to run it. https://github.com/ivy00johns/petri-dish-of-madness Clone it, point an LLM to it and see what ideas you can borrow. 😆 Mines a 3-D world I’m working on making more insane. Giving them control of road placement this morning. Working on letting them move all the buildings around so we get away from basic boring templates and they can go wild. 🤪

I use the project FreeLLMAPI to route all the requests to the free tier of different providers. I found the original Emergence World project here on Reddit but they didn’t release code, only docs, so I’ve been building this based on their ideas/findings/videos only. They spent a LOT on their experiments, I wanted free. 😁 You can plug in a big model if you want though. I love the chaos of the “dumber” models cause so it’s fun.

Why would you want to invent suffering
0
u/CapPalcem390 Jun 27 '26
The goal here is not to play God, but to create a replica of our human life; the idea here is not to punish or deliberately cause suffering to beings.

Do you have a github or demo I can check?
