Armed-Attack Threshold: Schmitt Criteria Simulator

Interactive 3D simulator of the Schmitt Criteria used in the Tallinn Manual to judge whether a state-sponsored cyber operation crosses the legal threshold from 'use of force' into an 'armed attack' -- plus a Monte-Carlo model of whether NATO's 32 members would reach the consensus Article 5 requires.

State-sponsored cyber operations from Stuxnet to Viasat sit in a legal gray zone that international law has never fully resolved: at what point does a cyberattack stop being espionage or sabotage and become an "armed attack" that justifies a military response? This simulator renders the Tallinn Manual's Schmitt Criteria as seven rising bars around a threshold plane — tune severity, invasiveness, military character and attribution confidence (or load a historical incident preset) and watch the composite score, legal classification, and a live Monte Carlo model of whether NATO's 32 member states would actually reach the consensus Article 5 requires.
