The U.S. Department of Defense is building a digital world with billions of nodes representing every human being on the planet.
Called the Sentient World Simulation (SWS), it will be a synthetic mirror of the real world with automated continuous calibration with respect to current real-world information.
The SWS replicates financial institutions, utilities, media outlets, and street corner shops. By applying theories of economics and human psychology, it's developers believe they can predict how individuals and mobs will respond to various stressors.
This way the U.S Government will be able to exercise their plans in the simulator and get an idea of it how it would affect the real World if they were put into effect.
This news brings to mind the intriguing question: Are we already living in a simulation?
