Research

Worlds you can interrogate.

Enreef treats a world as a system that should be testable, replayable, and explainable. Research connects behavioral modeling, geospatial data, scalable execution, synthetic populations, and selective agent intelligence to measurable questions about how a world behaves.

Research foundations

Established methods. Measurable systems.

Enreef draws from established travel modeling, synthetic-population methods, agent research, and city-scale simulation. These foundations inform how Enreef designs, validates, and scales living worlds.

Generative agents

Memory, reflection, retrieval, and planning show how language models can support believable individual behavior. Enreef uses deeper reasoning selectively rather than turning every resident into a permanent natural-language loop.

Empirically grounded populations

ActivitySim and PopulationSim demonstrate the discipline behind activity-based travel models and synthetic populations: explicit person and household state, calibrated behavior, and reproducible model inputs.

Compiled decision policies

GenWorld demonstrates a practical scaling direction for city-scale agent studies: ground a synthetic city in real data, reason selectively, and compile expensive decision signals into reusable policies for rollout.

Movement data at city scale

SF-LIFE shows how quickly dense trajectory logging becomes enormous: 500,000 simulated Bay Area agents over 70 days at 1 Hz generate trillions of location records. Enreef treats transitions and events as first-class data instead of storing every coordinate at every second.

Grounded worlds

Evidence decides what deserves confidence.

Real-world branches are compared with observations, baselines, and known history rather than judged by whether the output merely looks convincing.

  • Agreement with empirical observation
  • Calibration and holdout periods
  • Error metrics and benchmark models
  • Uncertainty reporting
  • Historical replay

Created worlds

Rules decide whether the world remains coherent.

Created worlds answer to their authored constraints, continuity, relationships, resources, and the consequences accumulated through time.

  • Rule adherence and invariant checks
  • Agent continuity and consistency
  • Relationship coherence
  • Resource conservation where required
  • Long-horizon stability

Evaluation

Measured across the systems that matter.

Enreef uses reproducible evaluation across execution, routing, behavior, historical replay, branch storage, and world compilation.

  1. E01World-engine throughput and memory behavior at city scale
  2. E02Routing and travel-time accuracy under scenario changes
  3. E03Behavioral fidelity against simpler microsimulation baselines
  4. E04Selective agent reasoning measured against cost and holdout performance
  5. E05Historical replay across mobility, housing, and business behavior
  6. E06Branch storage, checkpoint, replay, and comparison performance
  7. E07Reusable data connectors and repeatable world compilation
