WS WORLD SIMULATOR Global Cascade Simulator
INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS LAB

What happens when one shock
moves through the whole system?

Explore hypothetical global cascades across economy, energy, food, climate, mobility and society. Change the assumptions and watch the system respond.

How the simulator worksTransparent model & limitations +

Each shock has a fixed vector of directional effects across six systems. Severity and duration scale those effects. Baseline resilience dampens them, while the optional stabilizers reduce pressure in specific systems. A simple recovery function then generates the 24-month path.

The model is deliberately lightweight and deterministic so it can run entirely as a static page. Its numbers are synthetic scenario indices. They are not calibrated forecasts, probabilities, country ratings, or claims about future real-world outcomes.
