Sentipolis
Emotion and collective dynamics
How do persistent emotions shape agent interactions over time?
Persistent emotion–memory coupling improves emotional continuity in the evaluated simulations; gains in believability depend on the model.
What we studied
A 25-agent social simulation couples continuous emotional state with memory; component ablations, human judgments, and network diagnostics examine its effects.

How to read the result
Emotional continuity and perceived believability are separate outcomes. Improvements in these simulations do not establish predictive validity for real societies.
