How can I balance AI agent simulation mechanics and emergent dynamics?
AgentDynEx: Nudging the Mechanics and Dynamics of Multi-Agent Simulations
April 15, 2025
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.09662AgentDynEx helps create and manage multi-agent simulations powered by LLMs, focusing on balancing pre-defined rules (mechanics) with emergent behaviors (dynamics). It uses a structured configuration matrix to set up simulations, "nudging" to guide simulations back on track if they deviate from expected outcomes, and reflection to refine simulation setups based on past runs. Key to LLM-based systems are the dynamic reflection, which uses intermediate summaries and predefined checkpoints to provide automatic interventions, and the ability for humans to provide manual interventions, addressing challenges in balancing structure and emergent behaviors in multi-agent LLM simulations.
