STRADS-CLAUDE

STRADS-CLAUDE

STRADS-CLAUDE is an advanced simulation system inspired by Douglas Lenat's STRADS (STRategic Automatic Discovery System). This project aims to create a flexible, knowledge-based simulation of possible futures, allowing for the exploration of complex scenarios and agent interactions.

Features

• Dynamic event generation and processing
• Multiple agents with unique personalities and behaviors
• Complex world state management
• Belief system for agents
• Customizable reactions and outcomes
• Logging system with multiple levels (debug, info, warning, error)
• Natural Language Generation (NLG) for creating narrative summaries of simulations

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• SWI-Prolog (version 8.0 or higher recommended)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aindilis/strads-claude.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd strads-claude

Running the Simulation

To run the simulation, use the following command in your terminal:

swipl -s simulation.pl

This will start the simulation and output the results, including the debug information and the generated "Annals" at the end.

Customizing the Simulation

You can customize various aspects of the simulation by modifying the following components:

• atomic_personality/2: Define personalities for agents
• atomic_reaction/2: Specify possible reactions to events
• atomic_outcome/2: Define outcomes for specific actions
• atomic_affect/2: Determine which actors are affected by specific events
• atomic_belief_update/2: Specify how beliefs are updated based on actions

Understanding the Output

The simulation output includes:

1. Detailed logs of event processing, world state changes, and agent interactions
2. A summary of each simulation cycle, including world state and actor beliefs
3. "The Annals of Our Simulation": A narrative summary of key events in simple English
