What Nomos is, how it runs, and how to change it.
A few thousand simple agents live on a grid. They gather food, trade, fight, have children and die. Markets, classes, money and conflict are not built in. They either show up on their own or they do not. A group of AI observers watches the same run and writes about it. These pages explain how all of that works.
Nomos is an open-source project by Nenad Marinković.
