Researchers have developed a new deterministic framework for historical social simulation that couples Large Language Models (LLMs) with Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) grounded in Theory of Mind and Cognitive Archaeology. This approach aims to address the reproducibility challenge posed by the stochastic nature of LLMs in historical simulations. The system injects differentiated cognitive states per turn and uses SHA-256 hashing for artifact identity verification within local, pinned execution environments. Evaluations show that models with 12 billion parameters or more, when scaffolded by the ABM framework, exhibit spontaneous diegetic expansion and sustain an open narrative vector, unlike smaller models or unscaffolded baselines.
