BloodForge Simulator — BF-CCSF v6.0 Reference Implementation

BloodForge Cognitive Combat Simulation Framework (BF-CCSF v6.0) is a formal combat simulation system modeling bareknuckle fighting as an entropy-driven dynamical process.

Fighters are represented as locally ordered cognitive agents attempting to maintain physical integrity, decision coherence, and identity continuity under continuous adversarial disruption.

Version 6.0 introduces a governing layer termed Cognitive–Narrative Stability, implemented through five core operators:

• Drift (Γ): deviation from baseline identity
• Coherence (Ω): internal structural stability
• Collapse (𝒞): ERF-mediated probabilistic breakdown
• Weave (W): constrained, partial recovery
• Veil (V^cn): cognition-linked risk gating

These operate on top of a fully state-driven system including:

• multi-channel damage (structural, pain, shock, bleed, neuro)
• layered cognition (perception, decision, execution, emotion)
• hysteresis and threshold memory
• opponent modeling and adaptation
• tempo regimes and finish ecology
• strict separation of true, visible, and perceived state

The framework enforces strong invariants:

• no behavioral change without causal state support
• no collapse without smooth threshold dynamics
• no instant recovery of identity or function
• full traceability through ordered state updates

A companion Street/Prison Scrap Mod (SPSM v1.1 + v6.0 Cognitive Patch) extends the system to unregulated environments, introducing:

• environmental trauma (e.g., concrete amplification)
• non-linear hand fracture dynamics
• grounded stomp and head-slam risk
• unskilled fighter penalties
• accelerated panic and collapse behavior
• heavily suppressed recovery (weave)

This produces the short, chaotic, and psychologically terminal structure typical of real unsanctioned violence.

This repository contains:

• the full v6.0 specification
• canonical state definitions
• parameter sets and calibration targets
• action and utility systems
• regime transition modeling
• worked example fights
• compliance and implementation requirements

A functional reference implementation is available via the BloodForge Simulator GPT.

At a higher level, BF-CCSF models combat not as a sequence of strikes, but as:

"progressive structural destabilization under pressure."

The same dynamics—burden accumulation, coherence loss, collapse, and constrained recovery—extend beyond combat into general high-stakes adversarial decision systems.

Note: This framework is intended for simulation, analysis, and fictional scenario modeling. It does not provide real-world fighting instruction.
