From fd09a3cc59065b84bdef2d0fd21f0aa772a8269d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:18:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Reality update 2026-07-27: Hormuz shock widens to Red Sea, then first de-escalation Week of 2026-07-20 to 07-27. The Strait of Hormuz crisis widened (disruption spread to the Red Sea, oil ~+40% on the month) before the first mutual US-Iran strike pause and resumed ceasefire talks at week's end. - supply_chain_resilience: 0.48 -> 0.45 (second chokepoint disrupted) - middle_east_stability: 0.15 -> 0.14 (Red Sea widening; pause still nascent) - global_gdp_growth_modifier: 1.01 -> 1.00 (~$100 oil, equities down on week) - nuclear_risk_level: 0.35 -> 0.34 (first mutual de-escalation) - russia_stability: 0.28 -> 0.27 (record Ukrainian deep-strike barrages) - conflict_deaths: 1,509,000 -> 1,512,500 (two-front high-intensity combat) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KLNSpN65g535qfVqeHJfLa --- src/csim/data/reality_2026.yaml | 14 +++++++------- src/csim/data/reality_stream_log.json | 13 +++++++++++++ web/reality.json | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++------- 3 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/csim/data/reality_2026.yaml b/src/csim/data/reality_2026.yaml index 9177ab3..d825eb7 100644 --- a/src/csim/data/reality_2026.yaml +++ b/src/csim/data/reality_2026.yaml @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # Real-world values — auto-updated by reality stream -# Last update: 2026-07-20 13:13 UTC +# Last update: 2026-07-27 13:18 UTC year: 2026 # ── Geopolitical ── @@ -7,17 +7,17 @@ us_polarization: 0.72 eu_cohesion: 0.55 us_global_standing: 0.55 china_power_index: 0.52 -russia_stability: 0.28 -middle_east_stability: 0.15 +russia_stability: 0.27 +middle_east_stability: 0.14 india_power_index: 0.3 latin_america_stability: 0.4 # ── Economic ── -global_gdp_growth_modifier: 1.01 +global_gdp_growth_modifier: 1.0 inequality_index: 0.62 us_debt_gdp_ratio: 1.2 crypto_market_cap_trillion: 2.5 -supply_chain_resilience: 0.48 +supply_chain_resilience: 0.45 # ── Technology ── ai_development_year_offset: 5 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ human_augmentation_prevalence: 0.03 space_development_index: 0.08 # ── Security ── -nuclear_risk_level: 0.35 +nuclear_risk_level: 0.34 terrorism_threat_index: 0.25 surveillance_state_index: 0.4 global_cyber_damage_annual_b: 10.0 @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ arctic_ice_status: 0.68 # ── Human / Social ── global_pandemic_deaths: 7000000 -conflict_deaths: 1509000 +conflict_deaths: 1512500 opioid_deaths_cumulative: 700000 global_democracy_index: 0.52 us_institutional_trust: 0.25 diff --git a/src/csim/data/reality_stream_log.json b/src/csim/data/reality_stream_log.json index 15c92a1..90068a3 100644 --- a/src/csim/data/reality_stream_log.json +++ b/src/csim/data/reality_stream_log.json @@ -36,5 +36,18 @@ }, "new_nodes": [], "reasoning": "Week of 2026-07-13 to 07-20.
