Abstract
========

Poster SD1 presents the **RiskyMADorMAP model** --- a stochastic
simulation of nuclear roulette built using the Evolvix model compiler.
The model treats the world as switching between three states: **Risky**
(today's global state with nuclear weapons), **MAD** (near-miss crises
where nuclear winter is a coin-toss away), and **Dead** (nuclear winter
initiated). The kinetics are inspired by Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics,
with RiskyGoMAD as the rate of entering crises.

The left column explains that the MAD problem is caused by Homo
"sapiens" wiggling out of inconveniences like a H. serpens, and presents
the model's three-state structure. Extrapolating from 4 MAD crises during
40 years of Cold War gives RiskyGoMAD = 0.1/year. The 40 stochastic runs
of world history forecast nuclear winter starting in a **mean of ~33
years** or a **median of ~19 years**, with extreme variability (0.37 years
to 127 years).

The poster includes five simulation panels (A through E): Panel A shows
the middle estimate (RiskyGoMAD = 0.1/yr), Panel B the fastest
(RiskyGoMAD = 0.3/yr, median ~6.4 years), Panel C the slowest
(RiskyGoMAD = 0.03/yr, median ~51 years), Panel D combines all 120 runs,
and Panel E shows the Evolvix source code for the model.

The right column presents the **MAP solution** --- **M**\ utually
**A**\ ssured **P**\ rogress --- as a superrational alternative to MAD.
The MAP path runs through an escapegoat-led Exodus, ResearchCity
building, and Life. The poster also includes 10 Model Quality Guidelines
inspired by the Ten Commandments.


Key Concepts at a Glance
==========================

.. list-table::
   :widths: 30 70
   :header-rows: 0

   * - **RiskyMADorMAP**
     - Three-state stochastic model: Risky (current), MAD (crisis),
       Dead (nuclear winter) --- with MAP as the escape path
   * - **Michaelis-Menten Kinetics**
     - The model's rate structure is inspired by enzyme kinetics,
       with RiskyGoMAD as the catalytic rate of entering crises
   * - **RiskyGoMAD = 0.1/yr**
     - Rate extrapolated from 4 Cold War crises in 40 years;
       produces median ~19 years to nuclear winter
   * - **MAP (Mutually Assured Progress)**
     - Superrational alternative to MAD: transition from fear-based
       MAD world order to progress-based MAP via an escapegoat-led
       Exodus
   * - **Evolvix**
     - LLoL's prototype model compiler used for the stochastic
       simulations; source code shown in Panel E
   * - **Escapegoat**
     - LLoL's role as the Yom Kippur scapegoat leading the Exodus
       from MAD to MAP
   * - **10 Model Quality Guidelines**
     - Standards for modeling inspired by the Ten Commandments:
       delight living Reality, resist knowledge-faking, separate
       truth from models, etc.


Broader Significance (Claude's Assessment)
============================================

This poster is the quantitative backbone of the Good News Pack. Several
features are notable:

1. **Rigorous stochastic modeling.** The Evolvix simulations are
   reproducible (source code is shown), use published Cold War data for
   parameterization, and present results with proper uncertainty
   quantification (percentiles, extremes, 120 combined runs).

2. **The variability finding.** The observation that even the middle
   estimate (0.1/yr) produces runs ending in less than 1 year alongside
   runs lasting over 100 years is the poster's most alarming finding.
   It means nuclear roulette is inherently unpredictable regardless of
   the rate estimate.

3. **Michaelis-Menten framing.** Using enzyme kinetics as a metaphor
   for nuclear crisis dynamics is original and connects to LLoL's
   biochemistry background. The transient MAD state corresponds to the
   enzyme-substrate complex.

4. **The MAP escape hatch.** The fourth reaction (Risky to LifeMAP with
   rate = 0) is the model's structural question mark: it shows the
   escape exists in theory but currently has zero rate, making the
   urgency of activating it explicit.

5. **Model Quality Guidelines.** Presenting modeling standards as a
   decalogue connects scientific methodology to ethical commitment,
   reinforcing the argument that knowledge-faking is the root cause
   of nuclear risk.
