Researchers have developed Computational Multi-Agent Society Experiments (CMASE), a new framework designed to integrate human intervention directly into generative agent-based simulations for social science research. This platform allows researchers to participate in real-time within the simulation, conducting experiments that mimic ethnographic studies by observing, interviewing, and intervening in the simulated social environment. CMASE has successfully replicated findings from two distinct published field studies, demonstrating its capability to reproduce statistical patterns and provide detailed process-level records for mechanism-based interpretation.
