Mesa
Mesa is a Python framework for agent-based modeling and complex systems simulation. It provides a toolkit for creating simulations where autonomous agents interact within a shared environment to observe emergent global behaviors.
The project includes a browser-based interface for real-time visualization of simulation states and agent interactions. It also functions as a data analysis library for recording and processing metrics from model runs to quantify system behavior.
The framework supports multiple environmental topologies, including grid-based spatial mapping and network-graph topologies. It provides capabilities for simulating spatial movement, network dynamics, and the management of agent populations through a discrete-time stepper.
