Probabilistic Trajectory Simulation

Some systems are not defined by outcomes.

They are defined by paths.


The Pattern

Trajectory simulation evaluates how a system evolves over time.

Each run:

  • updates state
  • samples uncertainty
  • produces a path

Execution Shape

text
initial state + uncertainty

adapter (state model)

mc@1 (trajectory execution)

ensemble@1 (aggregation)

artifacts + replay

Primitive Composition

  • mc@1 — simulates evolving paths
  • ensemble@1 — aggregates trajectories

What Gets Computed

  • trajectory distributions
  • divergence over time
  • instability accumulation
  • intervention sensitivity

Output Artifacts

p50_path
p90_path
divergence_metrics
instability_signal
replay_token

Why It Matters

Trajectory systems expose:

  • path dependence
  • compounding effects
  • delayed failures

Why Forge

Forge enables:

  • large-scale trajectory exploration
  • deterministic replay
  • system-level visibility
