About

Project

SocioVerse is a longitudinal, LLM-native social-simulation runtime built around Lewin's field theory, B = f(P, E).

It is developed by Shanghai Innovation Institute together with Fudan University.

A hosted instance runs at socioverse.fudan-disc.com — see SocioVerse Online.

Contributing

Bug reports and study contributions will be welcome on the issue tracker once the repository is public. Contributed studies follow the standard anatomy — four interface implementations, validated artifacts, a grounding ledger — and join the routable catalog like any bundled study. See Anatomy of a Study and Build a Study from Scratch.

Acknowledgements

Several of the bundled reference studies stand on existing work, and each records its debts in its own grounding ledger rather than only here:

• Chicago segregation builds on Schelling's segregation model and on US Census tract data.
• Opinion dynamics builds on HiSim (Mou et al., ACL Findings 2024) and on the Deffuant bounded-confidence model.
• The ABM benchmark family mirrors eleven classic agent-based models, each checked for parity against its original implementation.

See Examples for what each one demonstrates.
