🦊 Ecological Modeling: ODE vs Agent-Based Simulation

Compare deterministic differential-equation modeling with agent-based simulation on the same predator-prey ecosystem, and watch where the two methods diverge.

⚙ Under the hood

A side-by-side comparison of two real ecological-modeling methods on the same predator-prey system: a deterministic ODE (Lotka-Volterra with carrying capacity) plotted as smooth curves, and an agent-based model where individual predators and prey move and hunt in 3D and population dynamics emerge from their encounters — showing where the two diverge, such as stochastic extinction the ODE curve can never represent.
