We conceived Doxa as an emerging simulator with Ollama (therefore open source and free) that attempts to emulate even complex realities in economics, game theory, and sociology, imposing constraints, operations, and limits on each agent within which to operate.

Currently, with models like Qwen3.5:4B, we obtain fine strategies in contexts of geopolitical conflicts and social tensions. The project is open source.

I simulated the Strait of Hormuz crisis where agents (US, Iran, Israel) manage quanlitative resources like "political capital" and "strait control" via local LLMs. The simulation showed emergent US military intervention on ships: the operation works but it couldn't balance the narrative spin against the economic blockade. Built with a custom YAML framework to test how trade utility and military operations impact automated diplomatic decision-making.

The idea behind the platform is to model complex economic-geopolitical scenarios with LLMs and simple YAML like this:

global_rules: epochs: 1 steps: 12 execution_mode: sequential maintenance: corn: 1 markets: - resource: gold currency: credits initial_price: 6.0 min_price: 1.0 max_price: 40.0 clearing: per_step - resource: corn currency: credits initial_price: 2.4 min_price: 0.5 max_price: 15.0 clearing: per_step actors: - id: player provider: google model_name: gemini-2.5-pro persona: Farmer-trader. Your core business is converting gold into corn. Keep enough corn to survive maintenance and monetize surplus. trading_mode: lob initial_portfolio: credits: 45 corn: 12 gold: 5 panic: 0.0
