I’m building a modular system to model value change in agents through social and emotional exchange.

Applications:

• AI alignment experiments in moral development
• Empathy and cooperation modeling
• Social exchange and reciprocity research
• Long-term value drift studies

Core design:

• Interactions quantified via give / take / receive / allow
• Empathy and energy balance weight decisions
• Base (long-term) and current (short-term) states
• Decay and growth thresholds for evolving morality
• Outcomes emerge from accumulated experience

Status:

• Backend: JavaScript + SQLite
• Real-time UE5 integration
• Narrative and symbolic overlay
• Ready for insertion of research-driven behaviors and logging

Seeking:

• Simulation scientists
• Cognitive modelers
• AI alignment researchers
• UE5 developers

Why collaborate:

• Theory-agnostic
• Swap in new models without rewriting
• Test how agents learn morality from interaction

DM or comment if interested.
