EmpathySim
Predictive modeling of external agent states
Definition
Mechanism
Theory of Mind simulation. Agent instantiates a temporary 'Virtual Context' initialized from a Agent (known priors, goals, and constraints). It then runs inference on this context to predict Target's next move. It spins up an isolated AgentSandbox to model the target's perspective.
Preconditions
- Budget available for sub-simulation
- Target profile (goals/constraints) known
Postconditions
- Confidence_Score generated
- Predicted_Action vector generated
Invariants
- Isolation: Simulated context must have NO write access to Host memory.
- Priors Shift: Utility function used must be Target's, not Host's.
