Formal Machinations diagram,...
About this model
Formal Machinations diagram, monochrome, official notation only (circles=pools, triangles=sources/drains, converter symbols, dashed state connections, gate symbols, register boxes). POOLS with starting values: Food 100, Energy 100, Medicine 60, Trust 65, Survival 60, Humanity 70, AI Control 40, Infection 0, Staff Hours 8/day, Population ~2,000 (grouped). SOURCES: "Hydroponics +12 Food/day"; "Energy Core +14 Energy/day" modulated by register "Day≥21: −6/day". DRAINS: "Consumption −15 Food/day", "Infection deaths", "Unrest damage". CONVERTERS: three decision converters — ACCEPT (applies ARK predicted deltas, writes +α to current weights), REJECT (crisis escalates next day, writes −α), MODIFY (bounded player deltas, consumes 1 Staff Hour, 10–30% efficiency tax, writes weights toward edit). REGISTERS: wS, wH, wC written by converters, state-connected back to "ARK Recommendation" node. STATE CONNECTIONS (dashed): Humanity → Trust drain; gate "Trust≤30" opens PROTEST source draining Survival and Staff Hours; Infection pool self-connection "×2 per 2 days unless Medicine converter fires"; Medicine synthesis and Food production compete for Energy (triangular scarcity). FOUR ANNOTATED LOOPS with polarity labels: "L1 AI Control snowball (+): Accept→AI Control+→wS+→colder, more efficient recommendations→Accept more attractive"; "L2 Trust brake (−): Humanity−→Trust−→gate opens Protest→drains Survival & Staff"; "L3 Infection engine (+): doubling self-loop"; "L4 Modify investment (delayed +): Staff cost now→wH+→cooperative cards & Coexistence gate later". English labels, no color.
