Research Abstract

This study examines the emergence of social structures under accelerated metabolic recovery. By nullifying lethal combat outcomes, we track how generation-spanning agent populations adapt to resource scarcity. We demonstrate that suppressing physiological mortality constraints facilitates stable, high-density social configurations, resulting in high social degree metrics and generational survivability.

Hypothesis Inquiry (Research Questions)

RQ-004

Reproductive Squelching under Severe Famine

Does extreme scarcity suppress sexual reproduction frequency in favor of individual self-preservation and shelter construction behaviors?

RQ-019

Disaster Bottlenecks and Lineage Extinctions

What structural thresholds determine which lineages survive rapid environmental shocks vs. experiencing absolute demographic collapse?
