Life Cycle Model of Empire
Description
Peng Lu and Dianhan Chen:
"The life cycle pattern is pervasive for both natural and social sciences, from events to empires. The man-land relationship governs the rising and falling cycles of empires. Based on the life cycle model of collective actions in 2016, we combine agent-based modeling, systemic dynamics, and numerical simulations, to build the life cycle model of empire. It aims to investigate the rise and fall process of major empires."

"aims to investigate the rise and fall process of major empires (N=18) in the 2132-year history of China, from BC 221 to AD 1912. The core principle is to find the optimal solution, which achieves the best matching between simulated and real target empires."
