omenai 0.1.1

The open-source strategic reasoning engine for technological evolution.

OmenAI

The AI-Powered Strategic Reasoning Engine.

Simulate the Signs. Reveal the Chaos.

Omen (Chinese: 爻) is an open-source engine built for strategic reasoning in technological evolution. Leveraging multi-agent game theory, capability space modeling, and counterfactual analysis, it calculates how technological evolution reconstructs market landscapes.

💡 What Omen Does

Unlike traditional predictive models, Omen does not promise to predict a certain future. Instead, it generates interpretable, replayable, and comparable future branching paths. Its core responsibility is to reveal faint omens, critical branching points, and evolutionary trajectories within complex systems, empowering founders, product strategists, technology leaders, and investment analysts to understand:

• 🔄 Substitution Logic: Which technology will replace another under what critical conditions?
• 🛡️ Capability Evolution: Which core capabilities will be enhanced first, and which will coexist long-term?
• 🏆 Strategy Wins: Which strategy combinations are more likely to win the market, capital, and developer ecosystem?
• ⏳ Time Windows: When is the optimal timing for in-house development, alliances, M&A, or contraction?

⚙️ Core Features

Feature Module	Description
🧬 Technology Capability Modeling	Deconstructs complex tech stacks into quantifiable, comparable capability dimensions (e.g., latency, throughput, ease of use, ecosystem richness).
🤖 Strategic Agent Simulation	Defines different types of market participants (startups, giants, open-source communities, regulators), endowing them with goals, resources, and constraints.
📈 Market Evolution Reasoning	Simulates dynamic changes in adoption rates, market share, cost structures, cash flow, and ecosystems.
⚡ Critical Point Identification	Automatically discovers key thresholds for "when substitution occurs" and "why it happens at this moment."
🔮 Counterfactual Analysis	Answers "What would have happened if event X had not occurred, or if strategy Y had been adopted?"
📖 Result Explanation Engine	Outputs key turning points, causal chain deductions, and strategic implications, rejecting black-box conclusions.

📊 Typical Outputs

A complete reasoning session typically answers the following questions:

• Substitution? Will the new technology completely replace the old one, or form a complement?
• Time Window? When is the specific time window for substitution or turning points?
• Key Drivers? Which variables (e.g., cost reduction speed, API compatibility) are the decisive factors?
• Winners and Losers? Which entities suffer first, and which benefit unexpectedly?
• Strategy Effectiveness? Under what circumstances is an "open ecosystem" superior to "vertical integration"?
• Endgame Form? Does it move towards monopoly, oligarchic balance, or fragmented coexistence?

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Environment requirements: Python 3.12+ with pip package manager.

pip install omenai

From source:

git clone https://github.com/StrategyLogic/omen.git
cd omen
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install -e .

Run Example

# run simulate
omen simulate --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json

# run simulate with stable seed (reproducible)
omen simulate --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --seed 42

# explain results
omen explain --input output/result.json

# compare scenarios with generic overrides
omen compare --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --overrides '{"user_overlap_threshold": 0.9}'

# compare with business parameter entrypoint (budget shock)
omen compare --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --budget-actor ai-memory --budget-delta 200

# keep historical outputs
omen compare --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --budget-actor ai-memory --budget-delta 200 --incremental

View Results

Local File Protection: Output files are written to the root-level output/ directory, which is excluded in .gitignore to avoid being tracked or accidentally uploaded, protecting your data from leakage.

Example: output/result.json, output/explanation.json, output/comparison.json

By default, each run of the simulation will overwrite the previous results; you can add the --incremental to generate new files with a timestamp suffix, which applies to all omen CLI commands.

# This will not overwrite the previous output (output file will automatically have a timestamp suffix)
omen simulate --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --incremental

By default, simulate use random seed to generate non-deterministic results; you can set a fixed --seed for reproducibility, it is recommended to compare different scenarios with the same seed to see the pure impact of parameter changes without random noise.

# Run simulate with a fixed seed (results will be reproducible)
omen compare --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --budget-actor ai-memory --budget-delta 200 --seed 42
# Run another scenario with the same seed to compare results
omen compare --scenario data/scenarios/ontology.json --budget-actor ai-memory --budget-delta 300 --seed 42

🔮 Vision

Omen aims to become an open strategic reasoning workstation:

It does not output a single answer, but helps people systematically understand how the future branches; Understand which conditions shape the outcome; Understand which actions can change the path.
