🧪 Development Technology Development Simulation

Every mass-produced technology gets cheaper as it scales — not on a fixed schedule, but as a function of how much of it has ever been built. This simulator drives that relationship, known as Wright's Law or the experience curve: a technology starts at a chosen cost, cumulative production compounds year over year, and every doubling of that cumulative volume knocks a fixed percentage off the unit cost. A demand-elasticity feedback loop lets the resulting cheaper price accelerate production growth itself, mirroring how real technologies like solar panels and battery packs entered self-reinforcing cost declines. Tune the learning rate, starting cost, base growth rate and elasticity, and watch the log-log experience curve trace itself out in 3D while live readouts track unit cost, cumulative units, doublings and elapsed years.
