## Notes

25 agents in Smallville (Phaser, inspired by The Sims); gpt-3.5-turbo; memory stream retrieval by recency (0.995 per game hour), importance (1-10), relevance; reflection at importance sum 150; hierarchical planning; party awareness 1 to 13 agents, candidacy 1 to 8, network density 0.167 to 0.74 over two game days; cost thousands of dollars.
