4/4 Main challenge identified: balancing model flexibility with interpretability without imposing transformation pathways. Still very much an open problem needing systematic approaches!

Review of Artifical Societies and Social Simulation

Modelling Deep Structural Change in Agent-Based Social Simulation By Thorid Wagenblast1, Nicholas Roxburgh2 and Alessandro Taberna3 1 Delft University of Technology, 0009-0003-5324-37782 The James Hutton Institute, 0000-0002-7821-18313 CMCC Foundation - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment, 0000-0002-0207-4148 Introduction Most agent-based models (ABMs) are designed around the assumption of a broadly stable system architecture. Whether exploring emergent dynamics or testing the effects of external interventions or stressors, such models typically operate with a fixed ontology – predefined agent types, attribute classes, behavioural repertoires, processes, and social and institutional structures.

Here how "Unrest Traits" work in IA!
Discontent citizens will go on strike and later, if still unsatistied they will protest. If there is no improvement, finally they will riot. Rioting can lead to rebellion, or continue until people are tired of rioting.

Dissatisfaction, Depression and Hysteria is a progressive effect resulting from lack of luxury.
Yet prospect of a new baby removes these effects temporarily... Just wait until terrible twos!

Review of Artifical Societies and Social Simulation

Make some noise! Why agent-based modelers should embrace the power of randomness By Peter Steiglechner1, Marijn Keijzer2 1 Complexity Science Hub, Austria; steiglechner@csh.ac.at2 Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse, France Abstract ‘Noisy’ behavior, belief updating, or decision-making is universally observed, yet typically treated superficially or not even accounted for at all by social simulation modelers. Here, we show how noise can affect model dynamics and outcomes, argue why injecting noise should become a central part of model analyses, and how it can help our understanding of (our mathematical models for) social behavior.

Nigel Gilbert By Corinna Elsenbroich & Petra Ahrweiler The first piece on winners of the European Social Simulation Association's Rosaria Conte Outstanding Contribution Award for Social Simulation. “Gilbert, a former sociologist of science, has been one of the chief links in Britain between computer scientists and sociologists of science” Nigel has always been and still is a sociologist - not only of science, but also of technology, innovation, methods and many other subfields of sociology with important contributions in theory, empirical research and sociological methods.
