Act:0 Fill the Cargo for the Red Planet · Simulator 5

Ticket Pool Simulator

A research tool for understanding how Act 0: Fill the Cargo for the Red Planet's validation system behaves under different conditions. Set the community size, voting patterns, and threshold model — then run the simulation to see how many submitted entries reach cargo. Use it to explore how the system responds as participation grows or changes. "Submitted entry" here refers to what the white paper calls a "response."

Participation
Max 60 days · models one version window
Active participants on day 1 · max 200
Max 5%
% of active participants who submit a new entry each day · max 100%
% of available tickets used per day · max 100%
Tickets older than this are discarded unused · max 60 days
% of each ticket batch that will never be used — discarded on expiry day
avg submitted entries per active participant per day · max 3
bonus ticket effect · each submitted entry generates this many tickets on average · max 3.0
daily fluctuation magnitude · 0 = smooth growth · higher = unpredictable drops and gains · max 50%
Voting & Attention
Submissions visible to voters each day · max 100
Threshold
Used by: Fixed model only · max 100
Used by: Percent model only · e.g. 20 means 20%

Column definitions
Active — number of active participants that day · grows daily by the growth rate
New subs — submitted entries that entered the pool that day · active × submission rate × submission multiplier, capped at active × 3
Sub pool — total submitted entries currently in the pool waiting to reach the cargo threshold
New tickets — tickets issued that day · new subs × ticket issuance multiplier · bonus ticket effect applied here
Ticket pool — accumulated unspent, non-expired tickets · never-voter tickets sit here until expiry
Expired tickets — tickets that reached the expiry window unspent · includes both never-voters and slow-voters who ran out of time
Votes cast — tickets spent today · willing pool (ticket pool × (1 − unused rate)) × daily vote rate
Threshold — votes required for a submitted entry to reach cargo that day · calculated from the active threshold model
New cargo — submitted entries that crossed the threshold today and transitioned to the cargo archive
Cargo total — cumulative total of all validated cargo entries since the simulation started
