The swarm¶
The swarm is a multi-agent nanoeconomics engine embedded in Scelo. It does two things:
- Convenes a council of simulated professional agents to deliberate over a forecast — surfacing consensus, dissent, and reasoning (it does not decide; it surfaces inputs so you can).
- Simulates a population's response to a medical or social shock, scaling micro outcomes up to macro impact (workdays lost, GDP drag, mortality, cost).
You reach it two ways:
- From Hard Data → Convene council → Open in swarm (the pipeline route).
- Directly from the swarm view in the workspace.

The tabs¶
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Forecast | The WMTR survival projection: wealth trajectory, survival curve, outcome distribution, M/T/R components |
| Council reactions | The deliberation graph + a readback Sankey (profession → trust the forecast? → confidence) |
| Society pulse | How a broader simulated society reacts |
| Readback | The synthesised narrative of the council |
| Simulation | Population simulation of a scenario → macro impact |
| IAAI Canon | The reference works injected into every agent's prompt |
Important: it runs as a separate server¶
The swarm is a self-contained app with its own server. Scelo embeds it, but you must start it first. See Running the swarm.
Tip
The swarm is a decision-support cockpit. The agents report; the actuary decides.
