SCOPE

Lightweight boundary for agents and contributors.

One-liner

PolyCode Simulator is a Python-based agent simulation framework for studying governance and resource-allocation dynamics. It models investor and voter strategies, runs parameterized scenario sweeps, and aggregates KPIs to compare the behavior, robustness, and outcomes of different allocation mechanisms.

Core Idea

Polycode is a simulation laboratory for mechanism design: a way to test governance and funding systems before deploying them in the real world.

In Scope

Core simulation engine for a single demo run
Pluggable investor/voter strategy modules
Parameter sweeps and KPI aggregation via experiments.py
Baseline parameter configuration management
Protocol specification documentation

Out of Scope

Production/live deployment integration
Visualization dashboard or UI
Cross-repo orchestration

Current State

v0.1 simulator scaffold committed (simulator.py, strategies.py, experiments.py); outputs under runs/.
POLYCODE-WP-0002 finished; next implementation work should extend strategies and KPI reporting.
