simulatelisted

## Intent Execute mental simulations of scenarios to explore outcomes without making real changes. This capability enables safe exploration of "what-if" questions and helps identify risks before action. **Success criteria:** - Scenario executed through logical steps - Multiple outcomes considered - Key decision points identified - Assumptions made explicit **Compatible schemas:** - `schemas/output_schema.yaml` ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Type | Description | |-----------|----------|------|-------------| | `scenario` | Yes | object | Scenario to simulate (intervention, change, event) | | `initial_state` | No | object | Starting state for simulation | | `steps` | No | integer | Number of simulation steps/iterations | | `explore` | No | string | What to explore: single_path, branches, exhaustive | ## Procedure 1) **Set up scenario**: Define what is being simulated - Clarify the intervention or change being tested - Establish initial conditions - Define simulation boundaries 2) **Initialize state**: Establish starting point - Use provided initial_state or current system state - Validate state is consistent - Note any simplifications 3) **Execute simulation**: Step through scenario - Apply changes specified in scenario - Propagate effects through state - Track state at each step 4) **Explore branches**: Consider alternative paths - Identify decision points - Explore likely alternative outcomes - Note probability of each branch
