Note
This is a reference implementation and experimentation sandbox for the Global Brain algorithm.
To get a dev shell, run direnv allow.
This will copy the contents from .env.example to a .env file, set the environment variables, and fetch the required dependencies.
Make sure to check out the .env.example file to see the required environment variables.
src/
This project is structured as a Julia module, so the code is located in src.
Within src, there are two main components: lib and service.
The lib folder contains the algorithm along with the tooling around it and the service folder contains a service that consumes a vote stream and outputs a top reply score stream.
As the service maintains some state, db.jl contains a SQLite database interface.
Finally, simulations.jl contains a simulation framework with which simple scenarios can be created and run on the Global Brain algorithm.
simulations/
A simulations module (GlobalBrainSimulations.jl) to test scenarios against the Global Brain algorithm.
We use it as a testing framework.
Simulations are located in simulations/scenarios.
Each scenario is a Julia script with a single anonymous function that takes a SimulationAPI object as input.
app/
A visualization app with which simulations can be explored and analyzed.
We use the just command runner to automate some workflows.
Run just to see a list of workflows.
