Alterlab Abm Mesa

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-abm-mesa

Builds agent-based models of social systems with Mesa 3 — the current AgentSet API (model.agents.shuffle_do('step'), auto-assigned unique_id, mandatory super().__init__(seed=...)), cell spaces (mesa.discrete_space OrthogonalMooreGrid / classic mesa.space grids), the DataCollector, batch_run parameter sweeps, and SolaraViz — for emergence, segregation, diffusion, opinion dynamics, and cooperation models. It uses the Mesa 3.x API (the old mesa.time schedulers like RandomActivation are removed) and treats the model as a generative theory to be validated, not just run. Use when the request mentions an agent-based model, Mesa, simulating interacting agents, or emergent macro behavior from micro rules. For discrete-event (queueing/process) simulation prefer alterlab-simpy; for reinforcement learning prefer alterlab-stable-baselines3. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
