Dev rebuilds old paper into Synthetic Social Graph, an interactive social-dynamics energy-field simulator

Developer Sean McDonald spent a Friday night using Grok to rebuild old repos, turning his pre-publication paper—modeling social dynamics as continuous energy flow rather than token sequences—into an interactive lab. Twenty-two "identity tensors" (each a 4×4 tensor spanning demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and relational channels) settle and bond in an energy field; moves require geometric consensus across identity/relation/time/behavior validators or get projected back. It includes an ADPRS behavior envelope tuned like a synthesizer, a causal Clockchain digest, and presets like protest wave, polarization, phase transition, and strict validation. The author frames it as an honest small-scale demonstration, not proof.
