Takeoff Sim

A cockpit for AI, economy, climate and society through 2100. Each scenario runs many random futures. The dials show the spread. Flip the cockpit to read it from the world to you, or from you to the world.

Scenario tool, not a forecast. Parameters are uncertain and many are guesses. Read the results as "what tends to follow what", not as predictions. The tool gives no career, financial or legal advice.

Set up your simulation

Nothing is computed yet. Make your choices in four steps. Then press Run simulation.

You

Say who you are. The page shows how the futures treat a person like you.

A change here does not start a new simulation. The page reads the runs that it already has.

Politics

Pick policies for scenario A. Add scenario B if you want to compare. Each card is one policy.

Risks

Pick which rare events can happen in the runs. They apply to every scenario.

Precision

Each run is one possible future. More runs give smoother results but take longer.

What is a run?

Each run is one possible future. The model draws uncertain values, such as climate sensitivity or AI progress, at random for each run. It also draws random events, such as a Taiwan crisis.

This starts a simulation. It runs many random futures for each scenario.

World

Opens the lever deck. Levers are decisions of governments.

Each chart follows one number to 2100. Open "How to read it" under a chart for help.

Deep views. How the model works.

Colour shows one number per region in the chosen year. Darker means higher. Click a tile to open that country.

Region

cause for you

This is the region in your profile. Change it in the setup.

Levers

Lever deck

cause for the world

Levers are decisions of governments. Pull a lever to see what happens if politics does this. Below each lever: how people like you push it.

Optional analysis: what is at stake per lever

This is an extra step. You do not need it to pull levers. The page adds each lever alone to scenario A from 2028, at its default strength. It uses 100 runs per lever and the same seeds as the base case. This takes about 30 seconds. The result stays until you change scenario A. The numbers then show in each lever tile.

If many people like you act

Each lever tile shows its parameter name. The model has more parameters. See the assumptions in the workbench, in the World deck.

Takeoff Sim is a scenario tool, not a forecast. Sources per parameter are in the Assumptions tab; "guess" marks parameters without a source.
