Neural Nations
A CAMS Research Platform
Neural Nations is an open research platform built around the Complex Adaptive Model State (CAMS) — a physics-based, scale-invariant framework that models civilisations as coupled institutional networks across eight nodes: Helm, Shield, Archive, Lore, Stewards, Craft, Hands, and Flow. 38 societies, 30,856+ records, fully open.
