arXiv:2607. 13693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This book chapter covers the evolution of social simulation from classical agent-based models, in which agents interact according to explicitly defined behavioral rules, to AI-enhanced simulations based on Large Language Models and, ultimately, Social Digital Twins: high-fidelity, data-driven representations of real-world socio-technical systems.
arXiv:2510. 05743v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We review the historical development and current trends of artificially intelligent agents (agentic AI) in the social and behavioral sciences: from the first programmable computers, and social simulations soon thereafter, to today's experiments with large language models.
Social simulation offers the social sciences an experimental instrument that the real world cannot supply, and generative agents have transformed it by acting as silicon samples that unite agent-based...

Putnam's Social Capital Theory is a foundational framework for collective action and community prosperity. However, traditional empirical methods face practical limits on control and replication.

arXiv:2506. 12078v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding the dynamic evolution of complex social phenomena requires both high-fidelity modeling of human behavior and large-scale simulations.
arXiv:2606. 15503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the concept of synthetic counteradaptation, a process where human and AI systems co-evolve by adapting to each other's strategies and behaviors.
Large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) are expanding the range of behaviors that can be represented in agent-based simulations, but many contemporary platforms are difficult to...

The paper introduces two minimal simulation foundations—SD-AgentFoundry-2D and SD-AgentFoundry-3D—for educational and rapid prototyping use with large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). SD-AgentFoundry-2D offers a 2D multi‑agent environment where LLM agents move, communicate, and react to local events such as fire, while SD-AgentFoundry-3D provides a 3D digital‑twin setting where a VLM interprets first‑person images to generate natural‑language movement instructions. Both frameworks run locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux, are intentionally lightweight, and are open for modification rather than being finished applications.
LiveSim is an LLM-based framework designed to simulate users in multi‑agent live‑stream ecosystems. It treats users as editable behavioral hypotheses and refines them through trajectory‑grounded interactions, using discrepancies between simulated and observed trajectories to uncover missing environmental shaping effects. The framework extracts transferable environment‑behavior patterns, stores them in a collective behavioral memory, and demonstrates improved user‑level fidelity and ecosystem‑level analysis on real‑world live‑stream risk‑control data.
