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 swarm — the Forecast tab and the deliberation tabs

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.
