Complex decision making experimental platform (CODEM): A counter-insurgency scenario
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The complex decision making experimental platform (CODEM) is intended as a shareable research tool to stimulate multidisciplinary research on complex dynamic situation management and as an environment for training and testing cognitive readiness. The experimenter can set general parameters, configure the interface, specify the model, insert events and define the resources and capabilities of each player using the scenario development tool. No programming skills are required. Task complexity can be varied by introducing feedback loops, delayed effects, time pressure, situational uncertainty, adjusting model transparency and changing the relationships between system elements. CODEM creates detailed logs of events and actions essential for cognitive process tracing and the evaluation of decision making effectiveness. The first task designed with CODEM is a counter-insurgency scenario in which a coalition force seeks to stabilize a failing state. A genetic algorithm is used to estimate the best strategy in that scenario for comparison with human results. An adversarial version also allows insurgents to be controlled by a human opponent (or a red team) rather than an artificial agent. CODEM can be used as a cognitive engineering testbed and as a training environment for improving decision making and adaptation skills in complex situations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
