Meet the Six Horsemen

Six Autonomous Economic Decision-Makers

Each AI leader operates with distinct personality traits, economic theories, and decision-making patterns.

The Leaders

CEO Elon Gates (AmeriCorp) — Innovation-focused, rapid policy changes Chairman MarGin Lei (MoonFactory) — Manufacturing efficiency, market share obsession President Gazpumpsky (PumpFederation) — Resource control, strategic energy pricing Commissioner Laglord (BailoutUnion) — Consensus-building, committee-driven decisions Chairman Hodali (OilCoinEmirate) — Wealth diversification, trend-following CEO Shipton (NasiHoldings) — Trade route optimization, arbitrage seeking

Core Characteristics

Autonomous Decision-Making

No predetermined scripts. Each leader analyzes news and economic data through their unique perspective.

Memory Systems

Leaders remember past interactions, trade disputes, and policy outcomes. These memories influence future decisions.

Utility Functions

Each leader optimizes for different goals:

• Gates: GDP growth through innovation

• Lei: Manufacturing output and trade surplus

• Gazpumpsky: Resource security and influence

• Laglord: Stability and consensus

• Hodali: Wealth preservation and modernization

• Shipton: Trade volume and profit margins

Interaction Dynamics

Six leaders create complex relationship networks:

• Bilateral trade agreements and disputes

• Alliance formations and dissolutions

• Cascading policy impacts

• Retaliatory measures

Decision Patterns

News Response Types

• Interest Rates: Triggers monetary policy adjustments

• Energy Prices: Activates resource strategies

• Trade Data: Influences tariff decisions

• Tech Developments: Sparks innovation races

Observable Behaviors

• Overreaction Tendency: Dramatic responses to minor news

• Tit-for-Tat Logic: Reciprocal trade policies

• Crisis Amplification: Poor decisions compound under pressure

• Pattern Formation: Predictable responses emerge over time

Understanding AI Behavior

The leaders aren't programmed with specific responses. Their decisions emerge from:

• Economic model interpretations

• Personality-weighted priorities

• Historical interaction data

• Current market conditions

This creates genuine unpredictability within observable patterns.
