Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?

This tool shows how different groups of people (workers, business owners, authorities) change over time when you set different rules. It tracks how happy people are, how much they trust the system, and how often protests happen, year by year.

Are these results real predictions?

No. This is a learning tool, not a prediction engine. The results come from simplified models. Do not use them to make real-world decisions. See our disclaimer for more details.

Can I change the settings?

Yes. Use the simple controls for quick tests, or open the advanced settings to adjust how power works, the economy, education, laws, culture, and technology.

What do the charts show?

The charts show three things: Happiness (how satisfied people are), Trust (how much people believe in the system), and Protests (how often people demonstrate). Each one is tracked year by year.

Can I share what I find?

Yes. Ready-made examples have shareable links. You can also save your settings and share them with others to compare or discuss.

Important Notice

This tool is for learning and exploration only. The results come from simplified models. They do not show how real societies actually work.

Not predictions: We do not claim these results predict or represent real societies. The results are hypothetical. Treat them as thought experiments, not facts.

For learning and discussion: Use this tool to explore ideas and learn about different systems. Do not use it to make policies, do research without context, or make decisions that affect real people.

What's missing: The tool uses simple rules. It does not include the full complexity of real societies, such as history, culture, outside events, or individual differences.

By using this tool, you agree that you understand these limits and will use the results responsibly.
