The nohumen Platform: Source Code and Documentation for Modeling Multi-Agent Systems with Quantum State Vectors, Vitality, and Emergent Social Structures
Abstract
This repository contains the complete source code, documentation, and supplementary materials for **nohumen** — an open-source research platform for modeling artificial life and emergent social behavior in a mathematically rigorous multiverse. **Overview** `nohumen` implements a population of digital agents that possess both a quantum state (a normalized complex vector) and a classical social vector (a set of real-valued features). Agents interact pairwise according to a similarity measure that combines quantum overlap with a Gaussian kernel on social traits. This similarity determines whether two agents classify each other as **friends** or **enemies**, which in turn influences their **vitality** — a scalar quantity analogous to energy or life force. Friends increase each other’s vitality, enemies decrease it, and agents can voluntarily sacrifice vitality to help friends (altruism). When vitality reaches zero, the agent “dies” and is reborn with a new random quantum state, ensuring a constant population size.
