EQUILIBRIUM

EQUILIBRIUM uses generative AI to power its core gameplay mechanic: the Policy Terminal.

When a player types a directive or law in natural language (e.g., "Abolish the luxury car tax"), the AI Engine analyzes the request in real time and generates a structured governmental dossier, including:

- Legislative feasibility analysis

- Budget impact and financial coverage

- Macroeconomic effects (GDP, debt, inflation)

- Social and political consensus projections

- Parliamentary vote simulation

Model used: Anthropic Claude, accessed via API.

Guardrails: AI output is constrained to a fixed set of structured fields defined by the developer. All numeric effects are clamped within bounds enforced by the simulation engine, so no AI output can produce values outside the game's defined ranges. The model operates only on the simulation state provided to it and cannot invent game data: commands that cannot be mapped to a valid government action are refused, and the player is offered bounded policy alternatives instead. No image, audio, or user-data generation is involved, and no player data is used to train any model.

Because responses are generated at runtime, outputs vary between playthroughs: the same directive may produce different wording and different outcomes.
